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.)
