Did you reach anyone in the MSP metro area (EN34 or EN35)? I pointed in 
your direction and called for you (well, your partner, whose call I have 
now forgotten) quite a few times, to no avail. I'm pretty sure my longest 
DX of the weekend was to K2DRH, so my station was not too lame. (Could 
always be better, of course!)

Better luck next time. I really would love to work you from Apple Valley 
one day.
