Comments:

The third and last stop on this year's Single Operator Multi Station tour. I had
the feeling here of stepping into a new language, or at least new dialect, of
WinTest after living in the N1MM+ world for a while. I had to remember to hit
the space bar a lot more often, lest I log a number of 87U. And WinTest as set
up here did (to me) odd things with ESM if you changed a call after sending the
exchange, like hitting enter wanting to resend the exchange. For a while I
became adept at quickly hitting the escape button, and toward the end, when I
was doing more S&P work, I just quit using ESM.

Nevertheless, having opening hours of 113, 109, and 90 definitely makes Sunday
CW SS a lot of fun. I missed RI, DE, NE, ND, NT, and KP4. NP3X called me on 20 -
I hope I was able to correctly copy his info! I knew there was a geomagnetic
storm predicted, but never realized that it actually arrived until reading about
it the next morning.
