Local propagation was good; it had been windy the last couple of days, and
the temp was in the 60's. On the coastal path, Ralph seemed to have the
edge this time with s3 SSB signals lasting several minutes. After signing
with him, I listened for another 5 minutes or so while he called CQ on
CW...K6QXY (Santa Rosa) was hearing him pretty well also, and called him a
few times... The path to DM04 was tougher, with only short contacts;
however Bob (QXY) and Steve were able to take advantage of a couple of
good s7 peaks for short SSB exchanges.

902 played about the same as last week.
