My computer crashed 5 minutes before the start of the contest. I raged,
cursed and frantically tried to fix it in 5 minutes. It took 25 minutes, so
I chose to make the first half hour of the contest one of my off times. I
stuck around on 10 and 15 much too long, hunting and pouncing on
multipliers; it hurt my rates and, ultimately, my score. No antenna on 160
(yet), my 40/80 sloper is resonant in the CW portion of the band, so didn't
really have the ideal set-up. I did have fun!
Score as follows:
BAND QSOs POINTS MULTS
80 23 23

40 46 46

Now I'm sorry I missed the CW 'test!
