The band was open way up into Canada, just about coast to coast, but not 
from here. Lotsa 4's, 5's, 1's, 2's, and 3's. Even heard some zeros, but 
they were commenting on the big signals they were working.
Today was an arthritis day.  I made it out to the airport for the big 
fly-in breakfast, or at least a *BIG* breakfast, then came home, slept 
till 2:00, went into shoot photos of the field day set up, pick up 
*stuff* at the hardware, and operate a bit from out in the shop.
