I thought he was awfully loud for HL....guess I worked him off the 
back of the antenna!

Dang, I lost one too then!

Next thing you're going to tell me is that S21YY wasn't in

I assume they QSYed...I worked 'em on 10, 20 and 40.  15 was the 
weakest I heard them...I suppose because it was as late as it 
was...they sent "GA?" once or twice before John got there, but by 
then it was just too late.  I don't recall that they've ever been 
able to receive really well...maybe a function of their QTH...

Oh well...
