Milt,
One factor influencing the results is that topband has not been a focus
for DXpeds for all that long. Time was that 2000 Q's was considered a
major achievement and that was not so long ago. Pretty much the same for
RTTY. Operating time used to be assigned grudgingly. The numbers have
gone up due to audience demand.

With a bit of time on my hands, and using some information and links
sent to me by persons responding to my post earlier today, I have
compiled the following list of All Time Topband DXpedition leaders for
total 160 Meter Qs.
The following list of 7 DXpeditions are head and shoulders above the
rest of the pack, so far as I have been able to discover in the records.
Most other major DXpedtions list total Topband Qs in the 2,500 to
3,500 range. Very interesting.
Enjoy, and if anyone has further information, please forward it to me.
Thanks, and have a great, leisurely weekend now that you don't have to
pursue K1N.
