Lloyd:
I think I had something like 64 thousand points from the RV using the
screw-driver on 20 and 40.
Had a lot of state-side contacts, which reduced my potential number of
points significantly for the contacts I did make.
My main purpose for doing the contest, other than the fun of doing so, was
to test my ability to do rig interface and computer logging with the N3FJP
software, in preparation for Field Day.
I, too, made some mistakes in my log. I'll try to proofread it within the
next few days, and then decide if I'll submit it.
All and all, though limited, it was a fun contest to play in at least a
little bit.

I made 199 QSO's using 100 watts into my antenna farm; I think I had some
QSO's on all 5 bands. Didn't put in very much time. I may not submit the
log, because I made a serious number of mistakes copying down people's
numbers. 68,000 points if I do submit it.
