I had alot of fun in the contest.  I missed the first 30 mins
due to not being able to get the computers ports working.
The station has been getting more refined over time 
and I feel that it is starting to get fairly user friendly. 

I sort had thought that it "would be nice" to get to 
200k so I was very happy to have made it to that level. 
I had some very good rates at the start - with 102 qsos
between 2205 and 2305z.  

Jay (thanks!) called me on 80m of all places. 
I never did work a MAR station - although I noticed
after the contest that I got spotted on 40m by VY2SS. 

I hope to see everyone on SSB - where my copying speed is MUCH higher.
