This is my new personal best for NAQP CW August.  More Qs that my last
high score in 2014, but less mults(probably because 15M was usable back
in 2014, but it certainly wasn't this year).  I ended up short on
full-time, having lost an hour and a half to work early on (that happens
when you work from home).

20 seemed pretty mediocre, with lots of QSB.  By the time I got to them,
40 and 80 was much better.  The 10-Q rate meter spent a fair amount of
time between 45 and 60, occasionally breaking 70 or 80.  That's better
than what I've done in the past, where the meter would spend most of the
time between 30 and 35.

When I got done, I realized that I had managed to log the entire contest
using the N1MM+ NAQPSSB log instead of the NAQPCW log.  I had to export
the log to ADIF, change the mode for each Q to CW (actually, in ADIF
format, pretty easy to do without worrying about potentially changing a
callsign), and import back into the correct NAQPCW log.
