Very, very good, guys!
As Jon, W0QZ asks, Just often is the path to Mike open ?  Two successive
weekends, but basically the same WX... hot & humid... is the path there
because of WX conditions, or is it forward troposcatter, or maybe WX
enhanced FWD scatter ?  We'll have to try more times.  (Getting Mike up at
all hours of the night shouldn't be a problem.  I mean he's aready up
feeding the new baby, right ?  :-;

Also, maybe we can do so real DX in the contest after all!
