Chris:   I did work both W4WLO (40) and since K6KPH was stronger on 
20 I worked them there.  KPH/KFS/KSM was the last Marine station to
sign off...  I heard them at 3 a.m. (EDT) when I hit the sack.

And, while I had K6KPH on the hook, I mentioned that LST325 / NWVC 
would be calling KSM during our cruise.
