Comments:

This contest started out as a disaster.  The amplifier kept kicking
out and 1.5 hrs into the contest, my computer hung.  When I rebooted,
the log was GONE!  Grrr!  My apologies to those I had to dupe as a result.

The amp kicking out turned out to be the fault of my IC-775DSP.  Apparently,
this thing is putting out the infamous Icom spikes.  I put my IC-736 standby
rig into service instead and it ran without this problem.  The receiver is
inferior to the 775, but at least I could TRANSMIT!

Good news! I RAN on CW for the first time in a big contest.  It was a
bit sloppy, but I did it!  That's exciting to me!

TNX everyone and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!  CU in RTTY Roundup next!
