I will miss most of these contests, but might get in a few on 10 SSB or 
a few lighthouse stations early in these contests.

I am going out of town for a bankruptcy law seminar and should return 
early Thursday morning. Please post your claimed scores by Wednesday and 
I'll try to summarize them Thursday.  Good luck and much fun for all!
