I wanted to do a lot more operating than what my body and neighbors 
would allow me to do, last night.

Having been up since 4am that morning, I did get to work 2 stations, but 
both were great contacts;
WA3VJB/Paul in Annapolis, MD and KO6NM/Mike.  I have to say at this time 
that Paul had the typical 'copyable but suffers from QSB, QRM, QRN 
problems that seem to plauge signals from the NorthEast, but when 
Mike/KO6NM broke, (to coin a phrase from K5SWK) "Great Gallopin' Gobs of 
Goose Liver!" coupled with "Holy Mackeral there, Andy!"  40DB/S-9!  What 
a signal.
