Sorry I missed you.  I worked K3DN on 40-meter phone last night.  Made about
100 QSO's from the home QTH, including more than a dozen on six.  On 6 I
worked Maritimes, Maine, Eastern Mass, New Hampshire, Indiana, Minnesota,
Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.  At times the band was really
hopping.  I expect that someone had a two-meter short-skip opening also.
