Comments:
888 -- the sign of "is that all you worked amongst all your mistakes, bad
keyboarding and otherwise dumb moves??"
Nonetheless, thanks to all for the QSOs I did manage to get.

today's litany of fubar errors:
1. setting up for contest and the computer hanging up...turned out a windows
update had been made and it locked up, forcing me to do a re-boot...with the
update. First QSO at 2011z.
2. i must have broken 3 or 4 callsigns, all requiring queries for repeats.
3. moving to 15m thinking/hoping it was more populated than 20m....it wasn't.
4. fat-fingering the keyboard way too many times--I'd blame the new keyboard,
but i've been touch typing since i was 13.
5. and just making wrong decisions as to where in the band to place myself for a
possible CQ run that would help me catch up to the time -- iow, make more than 1
Qso per minute. Ended up with 37 Q's for the 60 minutes.
Still and all, good fun at a leisurely pace and getting more manual paddle time
than n1mm F-key keying time.
sigh....
