Final Score = 18300 points.
No Story (sorry, regular readers): Nothing exciting happened, nothing much on
10m or 15m, so the fun level dropped and as I heard lots of 5 land guys making
Q totals climb I began to think of the coming CQP and planned multi-ops. Celia
decided she wanted to finish reading a business book and stopped after a few
Qs.
Like the SprINT, and despite a new version of TRLog the old 486 crashed trying
to make a backup to floppy disk. I took my first off time to try to figure out
why (after all this is not a CW contest). I'd like to try TR for the next
multi-op and want to be confident I know how to avoid this sort of thing. I
never did, so I just disabled the backup feature. It is probably due to the
ancient ESDI disk controller. Oops, I'd better QSY to the appropriate
reflector.
Celia brought lunch and we talked business and politics while the CQ machine
and voice keyer Doled (sic) out a trickle of Qs on 20m. I decided to treat the
rest of the test as a single op exercise and I took my second off time after
dinner. While waiting for the din on 40m to cool enough for my low dipole to be
heard I over slept.
