[SixClub] Monday Evening opening to XE

[Paul Lenharr II]

The opening was great! - One of the best I have seen in a few weeks. I
was out on my boat for most of the opening, but when I got back I
noticed that it was wide open. I worked 6 stations in about 15 minutes
while it was up and down. Figures that I would be gone for most of it!
