I worked them at 04:36 on 160 the first evening, and they were quite 
strong, S8-9. They were about S8 here this morning on the NS beverage - 
around 6:30 a.m. local time. Not quite the rock crusher VP6DX was, 
though. They pounded in! Strange thing is that I had a heck of a time 
working TX5C on 30 meters...had to wait until Sunday morning. They were 
in the noise here Saturday night, and Gary told me they were S9+5 in 
Bartlesville when he worked them on his 160 meter shunt feed wire that 
was mostly on the ground (he had his tower cranked down). Great fun.
