Comments:

Tried to set up my little netbook for this contest, but MMTTY doesn't appear to like Windows 7. MMTTY kept restarting over and over again due to accessing illegal memory locations. Went back to the ancient Windows 98 laptop, and it worked fine, despite only having 800x600 screen.

Started right at 1800z, but conditions weren't great. Spotlight propagation in effect on 10m, and signals were generally weak on 15m. Purposely stayed up on 10 and 15m for the first two hours, which probably hurt my score a bit. 

Rate was much better on 20m. Band went long shortly after I got there. 40m wasn't as crowded as I would expect. I had to QRT at 0130z, so I didn't get much time on 80m.
