Dave: It blew my mind to work you from EN46au (Kitchi Gammi Park) to 
Buck Hill, even though it was "only" 257 Km, on Saturday at 0957 local 
time. You were almost as easy to work on SSB as W0GHZ and WA0SSN who 
were only 39 Km away at the time, and definitely easier to work than the 
folks on the Michigan UP at 291 Km.  What propagation between us!

Thanks for being up on the hill and taking a big chance at working us. 
And a big congratulations on the 400+ Km shots with W0ZQ and N0UK the 
next day!
