Comments:

I was a single parent of a 9 year old this weekend so didn't plan much
operating.  Conditions were so good, I couldn't stay away from the radio. 
Forgot just how good the bands could be!

Amazing to work UA3 and other European stations on 10 and 15 meters at 4 hours
past their sunset.

Most studly QSO was YB4IR on 10 meters beaming Northeast over Europe.  Then
YB1ALL on 15m.  Also worked VR2, BV, and BY on 15m.  

Installed a new computer over the summer and this was the first real RTTY
contest.  Discovered that my logging software couldn't copy when two RTTY
windows were active at the same time.  Spent several periods during the contest
trying to debug what was happening.  Two MMTTY windows would work, but not when
feeding into WriteLog.  That made me SO1R all weekend.  Too bad as it was
perfect conditions for running on 2 bands or for mult chasing on the off bands.
 I was tormented by the decision of trying to run for rate or tune around for
cool DX contacts.

Quality of RTTY operating keeps getting better and better.  A few guys still
send their call too many times, but that's the only complaint.  Nice to be able
to have over 100/hour running with one radio.  Best 60 minutes was 114.
