I also seen K8MR spotted a few times but nothing heard. Six was in bad 
shape. I have 7 elements at 90' with 100W. I called several hundred CQ's 
in every direction on SSB and CW and came up with 21 / 13 = 273. That 
was a lot of work for 21 contacts. I did make 1 contact with FL, a 10 
second band opening.
