Comments:

Approx. 6 hours, all Sunday.  Surprising that so many mults showed
up with so little effort.  (I did take a minute to crack N7NG's huge
pile-up.) 

As several others commented, folks seemed to be pretty civilized
this time.  Sometimes my "?" yielded a single very loud DIT.  Fair
enough.  The skip was often long.

I thought there would be more activity on 160, with even 80 going
long so early, but never heard much when I checked.

My first contest with TRLOG, so my apologies for the botched
exchanges.  It sounded like a few others were still learning, too.
TRLOG is very efficient to use, but takes some getting used to.  Seems
to work fine with a very slow computer and disk. 

Never operate a contest with the neat little keyboard you get at 
a hamfest for $10.  As if I don't botch things up enough myself, 
the thing crashed the computer in mid-exchange.

It sure is great to hear all those long calls with 90's checks!
