         My sentiments exactly Jon...but I wonder how many microseconds it
will take for someone to say "typical East Coast comment"?  Funny thing,
I felt exactly the same way when I operated the CQ 160 from Colorado.

P.S.  To K6SE, you should try tuning outside the DX Window sometime
Earl, then you would hear the JA's below 1825.  ;-)
