Sorry about my lack of SOC-ness!  I can honestly blame it on my QTH 
though.  For 10 Meters at least,
at this low point in the sun spot cycle, South Florida is the place to 
be.  While the rest of the country
struggles for QSO's, it's hard to keep 'em from just continuing to call 
us down here.  I'm sure Ron will
attest to this reason for our anti-SOC activity.  It's not our fault!
