[IRCA] Bryant's Best Catches during the Ross Challenge

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are what I'd consider my 20 or so best catches while doing the 
7-Day Ross Challenge.  I ended up with 132 stations in 6.5 days and 
had a bunch of fun!  All were with the Slider E100 attached to a 
NW-SE Wellbrook Phased Array antenna. As is usual with most domestic 
catches, in most cases these are especially treasured catches not 
because they are exotic themselves, but rather they are small 
miracles because of stiff co-channel QRM in the region, etc.
