I took a couple of notes on this one...  

Sunday morning, heard US7IGF running on 21448.5.  (he didn't work anyone
while I was listening)  Thought that was too close to the edge to call -
then I noted someone who appeared to be running even higher!  

Turned out to be YL2GP on 21449.85.  While listening, he worked three
W's.  (all East Coast)
