Comments:

I didn't have a lot of time to commit to this contest - this was tax preparation
preparation weekend and I had to attend a memorial service for the brother of a
close friend.

My MO was to just cherry pick mult that I could hear well and work them, with 
the
end game being to edge closer to a DXCC status.  I haven't done the analysis
yet, but It appears that between the 89 bad countries, I should have at least
two dozen new ones for the counter to tabulate - if they will LoTW.

I tried my hand at using the DVR function of N1MM, I think it did OK, I'd
appreciate signal reports from anyone that hear me and could tell I was using a
canned message - especially if the report is that the audio fidelity was
horrible.

10M was a blast - I only had 2.5 hours Sunday afternoon to play due to church
and the memorial service, so I spent it all on that band. worked several EU's
and lots of SA, 80% were mults, but I left just as may as I worked on the
board.

I definitely will need to increase my RAM before the next contest - the spots
were so numerous that I kept getting buffer overflows. Great problem to have!
