All,

Here are the results of my "Drive to Dayton" Contest.  As you can see, I kept
the rate up pretty well, but were at times hampered by some nasty "Pileups".  I
kept my Off-Times within the contest rules, and did not use any "Spotting
Nets". I adjusted times for the proper time zone.  My logging software (that
performed the calculations) was Excel.

Fortunately, I have received ZERO QSLs for the trip!!

Class - Single Op
Rig - 1999 Nissan Sentra
Power - 4cyl, Unleaded Regular
