I too would like to know why 20M wasn't considered by the OP. 20M is a great, easy, and cheap band to get on and make lots of DX contacts especially during a contest weekend. A simple halfwave dipole can be constructed for a very low cost, sometimes free if you scrounge, and work well at 30 to 35'. Most people frown upon contests every weekend but get on the air during a contest and you'll have DXCC in no time flat.
