QSP from K2QI, who plans to operate 6m tonight from 4U1UN.  I assume they will 
probably start out on 50.125, and only have 100w and a poor HF antenna.  The noise 
level is very high there, so be sure to make lots of noise their direction!  GL and 
VY 73, Lance

Quick update: will try to operate 6m for the first stint due to several
requests.  After which, I'll QSY to 20m.
