Comments:

My computer froze right in the middle of a big run on 10 Sunday morning.  Thank 
goodness I don't use the computer for anything else but logging so I just saved 
my log to a floppy, pushed the keyboard out of the way and logged by hand the 
rest of the way.  I continued with the same run pretty much without skipping a 
beat. I was pretty much limited to running since I had no way to check my dupes 
but since 10 had not been open to Asia the first day anyway I spent my last 
couple hours partially S&P'ing Asians on that band without fear that I was 
duping anyone.  I have now entered the written log into the computer and I only 
ended up duping five or six times.   If disturbed conditions have to show up in 
a contest then they did it the right way this time.  Better to have the great 
conditions at the end of the contest than at the beginning so you can spend the 
last few hours making QSOs like mad, which is excactly what I did.
