20 meters is special, and if you can only have one antenna, that's the band
to cover if you're chasing #1 honor role. Just out of curiosity, I checked
my band totals and found that of 336 current entities worked, FR/G and P5
are the only ones I haven't worked on 20 meters (both were worked on 15
meters only, and yes, I worked P5 on RTTY). Given current propagation
conditions, 20 meter CW looks like the best band (maybe the only band) to
work BS7 for my last entity.

Another great quote!
The other fascinating thing about W1GKK's feat is it was accomplished
on a single band - 20 meters, every single QSO. Remarkable.
I know the VHF'ers like to call six meters "The Magic Band", but for
my money, it's really 20. I've seen some astonishing propagation
there. I once worked all continents in about ten minutes.
Try that on six. :-)
