Comment: Most of our score comes from Fri nite/Sat afternoon (when we were
having SUCH a good time!) until I decided to swap out this one RF-sensitive
computer in an effort to ward off recurrent 40-meter crashing. What should
have been a 30-minute job turned into six hours, and for reasons still
unknown, we could not get the new computer to operate. After returning the
original PC back to the line, we discovered that the CMOS battery had failed
while offline! Sometimes, Murphy seems to bring guests along for the ride!
That situation, coupled with poor Sunday propagation and having to keep the
tower cranked down low due to very high winds (and too close to the house to
rotate), left us struggling to catch up.

Well, there's always next time.
