Comments:

Pretty much a full time effort except for the 45 minutes or so about an hour
into the contest that I "gave up" in frustration over the S and P amp faulting
out on each band change.  Finally just decided to get some SO2R practice and go
barefoot on the S and P radio.  I use Win-Test and just before the contest found
a surrogate contest template that allowed input of the CQP info (IOTA contest).
The mults got recorded but without a proper check proceedure to disallow
incorrect abbreviations.  That, combined with my ignorance of the counties AND
their proper abbreviations, caused a lot of fumbling during my manual look-up
process on each Q.

Things got a little smoother as the test progressed. I eventually worked out
the SO2R sequencing AND learned the more common county abbreviations midway
into the test.

I had great fun and will be back next time with a less make-shift contest
setup.
