Soapbox:

I am not very happy with myself this year.  Half way through the test, =
my computer crashed with no more memory.  The second half was all paper =
logged with no idea of what mults I needed and my score speaks for =
itself regarding the mults.

After the computer crash early Saturday night, I made the decision to go =
to bed with no drive left to stay in the test.  In the morning I said to =
myself that I cannot just throw the towel in, so I began running them =
again.  I know that around the world, every op. is going through some =
type of problem(s) with their station.  I only wish that I would have =
not given up when the computer  crashed!

It is not an easy task packing up my complete station and setting up =
fieldday style.  Trying to go for some type of a record is the =
challenge.  It is the records that I continue to go after each October =
for the CQWW, that keeps me popping up from some country around the =
globe.

GUD DX,

AH8DX, Craig
