Comments:

This was the most preparation I have ever done for a contest, and was looking
forward to this one since I had to miss CQ WW RTTY in the fall due to family
commitments.

I was fed, hydrated, practiced, had an operating plan, and had intended to work
the entire 36 hours...

Unfortunately, 3 hours in my SPE Expert 1.3k stopped working.  I spent a couple
hours troubleshooting it, realized there was nothing I could do with it in the
moment, and connected my 300W backup amp.  Unfortunately, by this time the wind
was pretty firmly out of my sails envisioning repair costs and lots of downtime.
 I was running 50+ Q's the first 3 hours and had a goal of 1000 Q's and/or 1M
points.  Maybe next year.  Still had some fun handing out some points and
picking up multipliers as S&P only on Friday evening and some Saturday
afternoon.
