No Story (sorry, regular readers):  Nothing exciting happened, nothing much on 
10m or 15m, so the fun level dropped and as I heard lots of 5 land guys making 
Q totals climb I began to think of the coming CQP and planned multi-ops.  Celia 
decided she wanted to finish reading a business book and stopped after a few 
Qs.  

Like the SprINT, and despite a new version of TRLog the old 486 crashed trying 
to make a backup to floppy disk.  I took my first off time to try to figure out 
why (after all this is not a CW contest).  I'd like to try TR for the next 
multi-op and want to be confident I know how to avoid this sort of thing.  I 
never did, so I just disabled the backup feature.  It is probably due to the 
ancient ESDI disk controller.  Oops, I'd better QSY to the appropriate 
reflector.

Celia brought lunch and we talked business and politics while the CQ machine 
and voice keyer Doled (sic) out a trickle of Qs on 20m.  I decided to treat the 
rest of the test as a single op exercise and I took my second off time after 
dinner. While waiting for the din on 40m to cool enough for my low dipole to be 
heard I over slept.

Best rates according to rate.exe
20m   0148:          9 per 10 minutes (54/hr)
40m   0439:         40 per hour
