Comments:

I’m still re-evolving my TR-LOG setup after missing a number of Sprints, then
losing some config files in a computer crash.  Tonight, I thought I was all set
but made a last minute modification to my CQ-on-second-radio message.  The first
time I sent it on the air, it completely locked up the computer.  I tried two or
three more times before I gave up and just used one radio.  I have to say that
going “old school” was a lot of fun – and I managed my second highest QSO
total ever!

20M sure closed early – so I hit 40M at 0111, and headed to 80M at 0228.  80
was quiet and a lot of fun.  There were plenty of guys there early like me,
then there was a nice rate spike at the top of the hour when the rest of the
crowd following a more conventional band strategy showed up.  

Nice to work a ZF, but my biggest surprise was getting a call from 9V1YC!
