Wow Vann.  What are you talking about? That's a great
score! I was able to only scrape up around 3k points.
I don't know the actual score because I haven't
entered the contacts in my logging program yet. I
prefer to keep a paper log, then transfer the whole
mess to the logging program, then email the log in and
wait for the pesky messages from the contest robot
identifying everything that's wrong with my log entry.
Sometimes I get everything right on the first attempt
when I send in the log but those times are rare.

I had a secret strategy this time. I expected to get a
higher score on 40 meters by working the grey line
propagation not just during twilight but by using grey
line propagation during the early morning hours too.
But alas, I was up late til 3pm ragchewing with locals
on 2 meter FM and overslept - missing the sunrise.

Oh well, there's always next year (maybe).
