Thanks, Lloyd.

I'm sorting through an amazing number of e-mails I have received since 
Friday evening, and will try your qrz.com suggestions once I am out from 
under here.

P.S.  I tried to check into the 40-meter round table yesterday afternoon 
from the RV, but was unsuccessful.  In fact, I believe I might have been the 
station you mentioned being unable to copy.  I had worked Steve (KW3A) in 
the Ohio QSO Party a few hours earlier.  However,  band conditions to the 
East coast deteriorated later on, which probably explains my lack of 
success.

I don't know if I'll make it to the 20-meter Cross-country net later this 
afternoon, due to the need to prepare for our upcoming family visitation 
trip, but if I can be there, I definitely will give it a try from here at 
the home QTH.
