I recorded an approximately 5 or 6 second occultation from North Bend,
WA:

Disappear - approximately 03:55:49 - 2003 Nov. 6 UT
Reappear - approximately 03:55:55
Location:  (N 48 28.5742 , W 121 44.9154, 159m - GPS)
Equipment: C8 + f/3.3 focal reducer + pc164c

The star's image is very faint so it will take some work to extract more
exact times.

The bad news is that I almost recorded an event from a location near my
home.  I left my scope setup with a friend to watch over it.
Unfortunately I did not do a full walkthrough before I left for my
second location and my friend could not figure out how to turn on record
on the camcorder :( .  So, I got no data from that location.  They
didn't event check the screen at the event time so I don't know whether
or not they saw an event from there.
