[1000mp] Interesting

[Bob Main]

I saw the spot this morning for him and went to 14278, but heard nothing. 
Of course I was not aiming long path so that might have something to do with 
it.  Didn't see anything saying he was beaming long path so just figured I 
had no propagation.  Don't remember seeing any spots about him last weekend, 
but was on 14278 both days around 1400Z because that is what one of the DX 
bulletins said he showed.  Never heard anything.  Well I think he is 
scheduled to leave tomorrow so doubt he will be on then.  As I said, there 
is always next time.

Bob
