Comments:

Thanks, as always, to N3HBX for allowing the use of the Poolesville station.  We
had a packet communications glitch which required close to 40 minutes to fix. 
If you don't have packet in the "Assisted" mode, you're kind of hosed!

I wish I could have done much more time in this, but I got a call right after
0000z Sunday from my wife stating that our younger son was running a 103+
degree fever.  So, I had to set my priorities, and had to go home.  Otherwise,
this probably would have been a 3.5 million point effort.

Conditions were not so great, with 15 being OK for a period and 10 downright
sucking.  I've NEVER heard 10 this bad in a contest, and can only assume that
it will get better from here.

The dive into the assisted category was an experiment to see how a big station
could run in the assisted mode.  You certainly could run packet spots all day
long, but you certainly were distracted.  Single-op Distracted indeed!
