Well, that was interesting.  Deja Vu 2003 SS all over
again.  Everyone was weak with QSB until about 2215Z
or so.  Then everyone was gone and the band was just
hiss.  www.n3kl.org reported an X2.1 class X-ray flare,
and we had tickets to a local play, so I had to leave
just as the first weak, watery signals were re-
appearing.

I was surprised at the competence shown by those
members who managed to pull my call and exchange out
on the first try.  Questionable for SOC members to
be that good, isn't it?

I think TR-Log gave me 4 pts for member QSO's instead
of 5, but being a SCO, I couldn't figure out to to fix
it.  Maybe Bob can fix it for me from the log ... or
maybe not.  At least I think I'm pretty close and I'm
pretty sure I didn't bust my own call.

The rules say, "Results may be posted on QRP-L and on
the SOC Website."  I don't know how to find QRP-L and
I couldn't find the right place on the SOC website, so
I posted it here.
