Comments:

My first ever CW contest. (Prior CW contacts to my call were with NO6X as op).
My first ever CW contacts. (That's right I have never made any CW contacts
before the start of the contest.)

All that being said, I should have done much better. I learned a lot.
Next contest and next year will be much better.

This contest was entirely S&P. I used HRD's DigitalMaster 780 software to read
CW for me. (For you purist who say: Learn the code, I am working on it but I
was no where near it for this contest. At best I recognize my own call when I
hear it.) Logged with N1MM. Keying with an interface I built Thursday night.

My on time is 10 hours out of the 18 hours that I had the station.
My goal had been 75 contacts with 10 multipliers. I beat both (blew the
multipliers away)

Between 1am and 5am (local) the bands are really thin but I stuck it out and
pulled 10 of my multipliers during those thin hours (none "RARE").

See you all in SS Phone!!!
