MURPHY KO's K6LA!!!

Exactly 12 hours into the contest (yup, just after DST changed over) I was
entering my hourly total into a text file showing last year's rate, and the
computer froze. I figured no problem, since I was getting ready to take my 1st
break. Reboot the computer - uh oh, it won't reboot. After 2 hours of playing
with the Bios, WinXP repair CD, etc. I realized my C drive had died. Well, I
realized it long before two hours, but I kept rebooting, changing the boot
order, hoping against hope. But it was not to be.

The only good news was that I had made a Ghost backup on Friday. Now I've got
to send the hard drive in to some recovery company just to get my log back so I
can get my sweep cup.

I am VERY bummed out. CW SS is my favorite contest - OK, its tied with CQWW CW
for my favorite.

73, Ken, K6LA
