This was a fun contest! I got started and then couldn't stop making QSOs.
After my wife started making noise, "You didn't tell me there was a contest
this weekend...!" I decided to quite after 16 hours and 850 QSOs. Got back
on for the last half hour on 80m just to find a CT station (go figure, 850
QSOs and can't work a state that is 20 miles away).
You have to like a contest that lets you watch 4 football games -- with the
sound turned on!

Used WriteLog and a sound card to work the contest with AFSK. If you are
fighting DOS, IRQ conflicts, and keyboard lockups with your DOS software,
you gotta check WL out! http://www.contesting.com/writelog
