This most wanted grid data is about a year and a half old; the survey
being conducted in the second half of 2007. This list should be
updated after every Sporadic-E season.
Also, the survey is somewhat skewed as only the most wanted grids of
stations who have a significant number of USA grids worked (>300
maybe?) were included in the survey.
But you are not alone, DM87 is also listed as one of the most wanted
grids, despite W3DHJ having been there in every June and September
ARRL contest and the July CQ test for the last 3 or 4 years. In 2008,
at least 3 stations activated DM87, including myself, and made lots of
contacts as there was good Sporadic E for both the June and July
contest. Yet it still remains as a most wanted grid. Go figure.
There is a FFMA Yahoo reflector and in the files section is more
specific information on who needs what.
By the way, I grew up in EN14, long before it was EN14. I use to be WN/
WA0MWN in Brookings. - Duffey
