Comments:

Lots of fun!  Decent rates, good DX, even some new ones for me.  I had only
planned for about 4 hours operating in this one, as it turned out I got almost
half of the time period.  Actually focused and worked on my SO2R skills more
than in most contests.  Even did separate modes on each radio-that was a
challenge!  A successful event!

Unfortunately, I've shot myself in the foot.  OUCH!!!!!

First, I didn't read the rules closely enough, and operated SOAB HP Mixed
Assisted.  That forces me to be reclassified as a M/S.  Not catching that item
in the rules causes the second goof.

Second, I did not adhere to the M/S band change time limit, rather I switched
bands at leisure.

So, my mistake causes me to submit my log as a check log.  This lesson won't
soon be forgotten!
