Sorry to spam the list, but Mike's email is locked down to prevent spam. 
Mike, please email me privately so I can ask you about Rio Hardy. I tried 
the Earthlink form to unblock email to you but it errored, so I have no 
other way to get to you right now.

>>A pleasure to log a number of SCCC members this weekend!
>>Conditions were clearly falling off as the contest progressed.
>>Saturday night was not as good as Friday, and Sunday morning,
>>when I tried to make up for Saturday's lack of CQing while hunting
>>mults, things seemed off.
>>But when I see that several stations worldwide worked 40 zones on 10?
>>Incredible!!
>>Had this been a month ago we would have reached into zones 22 and 23.
>>This time I did work zone 16, finding UU7J CQing with a good signal. The
>>only one I heard. That must be quite a station.
>>W6PH and ST2AR both touched on the wonder our friends and loved ones
>>have about our willingness to sit in a room in front of blinking lights 
>>and knobs
>>for a whole weekend. Just one of those things we can share that no one 
>>else gets!
>>
>>Thank goodness the K3 has a good noise blanker. The electrical noise in 
>>Mexicali
>>can be something fierce!
>>
>>Having never heard any sign of zones 2, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 34, 39 I 
>>wonder who
>>in So Cal worked any of these on 10?
>>
>>I was up around 1340Z on Saturday, but not really paying attention. When I 
>>heard
>>HK1? with a solid signal at 1353Z I wondered how much I'd already missed. 
>>The next
>>morning I awoke at 13Z but the band didn't show any signs of life until 
>>1345Z or so. A
>>loud F station coming through among others. What are those guys using? :o)
>>The band closed up between 01Z and 02Z to most activity. The Oceania 
>>stations were
>>still audible for another 45 minutes or so.
>>I kept hoping  deep Asia would open up as the grayline crossed the 
>>continent, but not
>>a sign. Several UA0s in zone 19, but nothing deeper.
