TVARCers:

This is the first contest where I operated using N1MM+ (converting from WriteLog).  Thanks to Rusty and Pete for guidance & nudging me out of the W-L nest.  Other than a few blips, all went fairly well.  Had two bouts with Murphy.  One was the long-lingering effects of a cough/cold.  The other was that I found out my external tuner ain't waterproof.  After the morning rains, I was off the air for four or five hours on Sunday.

Congrats to George and Pete for their great scores from TV.  They are an inspiration.  Lots of BIC for them.

Spent much of the time S&Ping and with a couple of stints Running and fat-fingering (need some remedial keyboarding before my next contest effort).
