Mike,

Sounds like you had fun.   I had limited time, and only did about 50 S 
and P contacts on SSB.    A nice opening from here  to Europe on 
Saturday (which I missed most of), and  today mostly NA and SA.   It was 
open to your neck of the woods today.  I should have checked CW and 
looked for you.

73, Steve  KW3A
