I remember that one, and I'm kicking myself for not having some sort of
alerting system to let me know about it.

The big opening I'm thinking of was one of two years we had a big multi-op
effort in VHF SS here in Champaign, IL.  W9IP and W3EP might remember, as
I think they were both in on it, but I don't know if either is on this
reflector.
