Last night was a good night.

Managed to land 'em on 80 & 40 CW, and then on 40 SSB for my first phone
QSO with the island.

The pileups were a lot better-behaved in all three places. (40CW had been
a madhouse most of the week) On 80 it was nearly perfect. Apparently most
of the lids:

- were asleep
- were jamming somewhere else (30m?)
- finally managed to burn out their finals (we can only hope)
- were too busy participating in the Disease Discussion Net
- thought the station calling CQ on 3523 was K3YO & not worth messing with

I see there's some RTTY activity showing up - maybe???

(a few folks reported 'em on 10 meters late yesterday morning but not even
a hint here.

ARRL.org reports the guy on the Space Station worked them - on 2
meters...)

Conditions are much better today to 3Y0 land. Just went to listen on 14.023
and there they were. Put in the second VFO and found who he was in QSO
with. Made exactly 1 call. He came right back. That's with 500w to Mosley
3 element.
