[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions today were reasonably good.  Most of the logs were 
predictable with few surprises.  531 and 1476 finally produced some 
audio for the first time this season.  Some of the Alaskans were back, 
including KGTL-620 making its first appearance of the season.
