Comments:
Conditions were excellent for the September Sprint. I tired using N1MM logger
for the first time. Nice program, but the unfamiliarity cost me some Qs. This
year, I also decided to abandon SO2R and just use my Orion. Could have been more
efficient with this setup, but that's to be learned.
Then I managed to get into my own house alram system while operating on 80. Not
once, but twice. Took about 10 minutes to rest it and ward off the cops.
Besides these little quirks, I also had my new computer lock up completely.
Couldn't figure out what was going on. This is a high speed job with plenty of
RAM. So by the time I kenpt banging away at the keyboard to no avail, it finally
dawned on me that I should try to reboot. Then got back to the business at
hand.
Overall, this contest is too much fun to run only twice a year. How about the UK
model? They have a 1 hour contest once a week, with the point total accumulated.
And they hold it on a week night (sort of like the old "bowling night" for
guys?).
Anyway, thanks to all for the Qs. It was a lot of fun.
