Comments:

I had originally planned an Open-24 HP operation as VE3FU but ran into problems
with the rotor for my top TH6 and my amplifier, so I decided to put VA3RAC on
the air instead (LP).

This is the first time I remember not working G3TXF and G3PJT on all 5 bands. 
I missed V5/G3TXF on 80m (called at several different times) and J34G on 10m
(never heard).

My log shows no QSOs between 0803 and 0904 despite nearly continuous CQing on
one radio and searching on the second radio.

There were several times when N1MM reserved serial numbers on the second radio
that were never sent (didn't work the station) so there are several skipped
numbers in my log.

Here's a breakdown of some of my log:

	Raw	QSOs	Dupes	Bonus	HQ	PTS	BCA
