Comments:

Had limited time this weekend limited to first hour on Saturday and the rest
Sunday until dinner time.  40m turned out to be very productive for me Sunday
morning for a few hours and managed a couple good runs.  The afternoon was spent
largely S&P filling in the mult table. Still came up 5 short on the sweep
missing SD, SDG, NL, NT, and SK.  I saw spots for all of them except SDG.  Just
couldn't hear them or punch through the pileup for NT.  My Q for the afternoon
was AK for that mult.  It was worth waiting out the pileup and snagged him just
a couple minutes before the dinner bell. Most difficult sections to close were
ND, AK due to the pileups and weak signals.  

I did have one station glitch at the beginning of the contest.  I thought I had
everything set up to go so I could operate the first 90 minutes.  Well at the
starting bell, I was getting no mic audio to the rig even though I had tested it
a few hours earlier and even recorded an audio clip for a function key.  Took me
30 minutes to figure out my mic had broken and switch to my backup mic.  Not a
good start when I knew my time was limited.

Still had fun for the time I did have to operate and a little disappointed I
couldn't get the sweep.

73,
Eric - NR4O
