It did my heart good to literally hear 15 meters, during the contest, 
running full from 21.200 clear up to almost the end of the band at 21.448 
and with huge signals.  Keep in mind, I'm just using a G5RV from 38 feet off 
the tower.  I copied Europeans 20 over S9 Saturday morning alone and loads 
of Pacific stations later that afternoon.  I can remember the days when 15 
meters was from 250 to 450 and I never recall much DX above 400 due to all 
the nets in that upper 50 KHz range but the 15 phone band sure was jam 
packed this weekend with super signals.  Ten meters was good but not as good 
as 15 meters for me and my little wire here in Colorado.
