 Dennis, I just checked and all of the QSOs we discussed were registered 
in ClubLog.  We're both in PJ4P's log.

I'll be using ClubLog's OQRS option shortly after the team shuts leaves 
Bonaire, since I intend to work them a few more times.  It looks like 
they'll be QSLing both via card and LotW.

73, Jim  W9FI
