[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.   
 
Here is the latest update for those NLRS members who are playing in the  
CSVHF Society "States Above" operating event.   Looking at the data,  its no big 
surprise to see that by group-total that 50% of all the band-States  we've 
worked so far are worked on 6m.   2m provides another 20%, 222  provides 11%, 432 
8%, while 902 and up provide the remaining 11%.    You can see the versatility 
of the 222 band in that it has the same number of  reporting stations as does 
432 (10 of 11 reporting), but by total it leads 432  by 63 vs 50.   222 is da 
band .... tropo, aurora, scatter, and weak MS  for those who wish to push the 
envelop.

Its also interesting to look at  the percentage of players on each band.   
For example, 91% are on  6m.   Here is a list of band popularity sorted in 
descending order of  usage:
6m -  91%
2m -  91%
222 -  91%
432 -  91%
10G -  73%
1296 -  64%
902 -  36%
5760 -  36%
2304 -  27%
3456 - 27%
