Wayne,
     I've been running 80 only with my center fed inverted L. I've 
managed to worked some of Europe and South America as well as the usual 
US and Canadians. However, the population of contesters on 80 appears to 
be much lower than on 40 and 20. And, that's unfortunate as 80 seems to 
be open also.

73,
Barry
