Dave,

I registered but never got my confirmation email so I couldn't log in. When I tried it kept saying that the logging would be available on Saturday and here it was Sunday. We had a lot of QRN up here, not sure why, but even once that quieted down we were having trouble hearing and being heard. I was mostly searching and pouncing; tried to CQ for awhile and made a few contacts that way then conditions changed and someone took my "spot". Oh well, it was a learning experience. Thank goodness N1MM was working to log the contacts although I found it easier to write down their call sign as I can listen/think/write faster than listen/think/type. I only made 22 contacts -whereas Anna, W0ANT, in Littleton made over 200! I could hear hams replying back to her, but couldn't hear her. 

On to another QSO party next weekend - Dan and I both need New England states. 

73,
