Tom,

Well, you beat me again.  Finished with 90 QSO's in the NAQP, but plan to 
give it a stronger effort in the SSB  portion.  Sorry   we didn't cross 
paths yesterday.

I also found 40 long at  0000utc, but last night didn't seem as noisy as it 
was mid-week.


I'll be there tonight.

73, Steve KW3A
