First, all equipment worked FB with only 2 small glitchs.  PC lockup and a sticky relay...none cost any Qs.
The big iron is getting a bandswitch transplant so it was up the the ole FL to tote that barge and she came 
through with flying colors.

OMG OMG We had real band openings with REAL DX!  This wasn't your flash -you had to be there to catch it-
No I was working EU for 4 solid hours on 15.  Started Sunday morning 7 AM pointed beam 045 and they came 
a running.  I haven't seen 15 like this for many moons.  20 and 40 were hot also.  Work AS and PAC on 40
before sunrise and and EU on 20 just after.  Than switch and sunset. 40 was my standout with the most Qs per Hr 
and points per Q but 15 was the real star with EU 2 S unit over the east coast.  Only worked two AF, an EA8 
and a CT3.

Tried something new.  Stopped thinking about RATE...Just the clock...time in the chair.  So I did as little S&P as
needed to find a comfy spot and sit.  If you call they will come!  And many did.  Had planned to run the full 30 hours
but dozed off at one break and over slept Sunday morning.  The whole rate thing didn't bother me until the last 4
hours and it looked like I could break 1K Qs. While my over all average rate never was much over 40 per, the last 4
hours  on 20 really was hot.  There was a lot of activity out there to work all that DX what with the super band
contitions.

This is the swan song for miLog and contesting.  Time to step up to "designed to contest" software.  Oh something
with say 379 pages (PFF) manual! Or 7 pages of "Assigned Keystokes."  Yep, got N1MM all loaded, reloaded, tested,
played with and all the wizbangs gizwackes I need for ARRL DX CW set and ready.  I hope if I hit say 
Ctrl/Shift/Alt-F10-Enter I dont launch a Hellfire off a drone somewhere.

Super thanks to all who answered the call and Tip of the hat to all those cheerleaders out...wipe me beat me
make me log those Qs just keep spot'en me!

Gota love WPX where even the dupes are mults
