Thanks Bill.  I didn't intentionally leave you out, I think :)  Your
report brings the total to 20 which is the most for NC in any one
season. I looked back through my saved messages and did not find a
report from Jon or Paul.  The updated list is below.

A rough estimate of the distance form Boston to Woodland Park, Colorado
shows 1780 miles.  I can get Doug's coordinates from QRZ.  If you will
give me your exact location I will plug the coordinates into a program
which will give a more accurate estimate of distance.
