Comments:

FT1000MP, Alpha 78, 1 KW, TH6DXX, dipole, inverted vee.  Band conditions pretty
good.  Thought I had cured RF feedback problem, but it popped up a couple of
times causing the computer keying to lock up.  Not much of a problem compared
to the complete logging computer at 0127Z while on 40M. Could not revive it. 
Lost seven minutes.  Had formed a South East Sprint Coalition team and felt I
owed it to the other members of the team to carry on.  So, the rest of the
contest was logged on paper and sending was all with a paddle.  Was afraid I
would not be able to recover the first part of the log since it was only backed
up to the hard drive of that computer.  However, I got it working again on
Sunday long enough to type in the rest of the QSOs.  I then had to change the
frequencies and times in the Cabrillo file.  When the computer went off, I
didn't know what the next number would be but was pretty sure it was in the
120s, so I started with paper at 130.  Numbers 121-129 were not issued.  And, I
ran out of line paper log sheets near the end and was logging on the unlined
back of a log sheet, resulting in issuing number 312 twice.  I edited the
Cabrillo file to show the numbers actually sent.  Hope and think I got
everything right.  If it had not been for these problems, I probably would have
had a person best SO1R score.  Thanks for all QSOs.  73, John, K4BAI.
