Bert, K2BA drained 15 dry with his new Alpha 99.  112 countries.
Dave W5AO at W5TM found 106 countries on 40.
W5ATV hammered out some Qs too.

Saw several OKDX scores reported on the 3830 reflector.

Wasn't on many hours myself but could tell the bands were pretty good.
I get a kick out of the various DX exchanges in this one.  ditNNNN for
599 99 watts or even better (or worse) I copied a ditNNNNN from one guy.
You get K from some and KW from others.  Once in a great while
a 150 or 250 shows up.  Worked a handful of 5 watters that were well over
9 on the meter.  FY5KE was 25 over running QRP!

Yep, fun stuff.
