Comments:

When I got up on Saturday, a shipment of Murphy had arrived, un-noticed.  When I
opened it up, out it sprang and I really never got a full handle on it.  Suffice
it to say that without my ANC-4 helping get around the noise and relay switching
issue, I wouldn't have had even this few QSOs.

It was really tough to get a run going.  The bands souned like mush throughout
the weekend.  Still there were many fun moments and thank you to each and every
one of you who gave me a QSO, went through crazy lengths to get the exhange
across correctly, and BIG kudos for those who spotted me; it really helps when
you're a little pistol station like mine.

I ran into an issue with some skipped numbers in my log because I was also
monitoring my station log via a network connection on another computer.  My
main computer had Writelog freeze and so when it came back up there were QSOs
with a red D next to them.  After some panicking I realized that as long as I
kept everything in sequence all was OK since my reported score is not related
to the number I gave out.  

Still it was a pain, but I learned some cool things about Writelog networking.

73!
