I am taking the liberty of forwarding W4ZV's message to me, below, to
the Reflector, to correct my statement of last night--and dispel the
pirate paranoia that inevitably results.

Bill is correct. VE1ZZ indeed led the parade--what, again?--logged at
0144Z --our sunrise-- on the 5th. He was followed immediately by W2VO,
K2SY, WA2UUK and KD9SV, but the band died immediately after SV's QSO,
and he was the last QSO for that night. There were no stateside QSO's
the next night. On the 7th, K3RR preceded W8JI in the 3B9R topband log
by 24 minutes--sorry, Joe. After this I am just going to keep quiet,
because tired people should not make statements about who came first
in a log!
