Ed,

I've been working guys during this weekend CQ Worldwide on CW.  Bands not as 
good as you'd like but with a vertical at 20 feet, I'm working everything I 
can hear and you are right about all bands.  I hope 10 opens some this 
weekend.  I'm just playing around but I have 316 countries for a total since 
I began working DX when I was 15 years old in 1967.
