Just ran the filter on the ARRL 160 Meter contest looking for WAS time 
and I was able to narrow it down to all 50 states worked here in 6 Hours 
and 45 minutes. In the past it was a struggle to make all 50 states 
during a contest on 160 meters.

With the log filter technique I am sure that some of the big guns on the 
mainland will have even better results during this years ARRL 160  Meter 
Contest

This was an especially active contest test on the mainland...and to 
think I worked less than half of the NA stations that were active!
