Got the log cleaned up, and realized that I was suffering from eyestrain 
when I sent the prior message.  One of my grid counts was off by one, 
which threw off my score a bit.  Here's the revised summary:

Band   QSO's   QSO Points    Mults
   50     68        68          13
  144     96        96          15
  222     37        74          10
  432     56       112          11
  902     21        84           9
1296     27       108           9
-----  -----   ----------    ------
Total   305       542          67

Grand Total Score = 542 x 67 = 36,314

And YES, the log now *HAS* been sent to the ARRL, it *IS* marked for 
Northern Lights Radio Societ, and it *HAS* been acknowledged as received 
  by the ARRL Contest Branch.

By the way, if you accidentally submitted your log and FORGOT to mark it 
for Northern Lights Radio Society, all is not (yet) lost.  Just fix your 
log file (insert the club name after the CLUB: prompt near the top of 
the Cabrillo file), and re-send your message to the robot.  It will 
detect that your callsign is already on file, and use the later log as a 
replacement for the earlier log.  (Please don't ask me how I know this 
for a fact, it's a bit embarrasing to admit!)  This technique can also 
be used to correct other errors you found after submission, such as a 
misspelled callsign, etc.  Fortunately, I caught all my misspellings 
before submission (NOHZ -> N�HZ, KT8� -> KT8O, etc.  Don't know why I 
keep making those silly mistakes, but that's life.  Those errors would 
have been caught by the robot since they are not valid USA calls, but 
others might not be caught automatically.)
