I didn't get the CO9, but I did get another guy who started in with his rig 
and stuff. I came back and (politely I thought) told him thanks for the QSO, 
but I need to get back to the NAQP. At which point he informed me that I was 
on the "Olivia Frequency" and there should be more activity. At that point 
it was "73 TU QRZ" and no I didn't give up the frequency.

A minute or two later there was all this noise kind of like one of the 
robots, but sounded much more martian-like - whatever it was I had never 
heard it before. It went away after another minute or two and never really 
bothered me.

Reason to do SO2R #17: When you got some guy going on about the Olivia 
Frequency on one rig, the other rig is still generating points!

um, so what IS an Olivia Frequency, anyway? I think it was about 14107.

cheers! - jeff wk6i
