Comments:

 

Lots of fun!  Decent rates, good DX, even some new ones for me.  I had only
planned for about 4 hours operating in this one, as it turned out I got
almost half of the time period.  Actually focused and worked on my SO2R
skills more than in most contests.  Even did separate modes on each
radio-that was a challenge!  A successful event!

 

Unfortunately, I've shot myself in the foot.  OUCH!!!!!

 

First, I didn't read the rules closely enough, and operated SOAB HP Mixed
Assisted.  That forces me to be reclassified as a M/S.  Not catching that
item in the rules causes the second goof.

 

Second, I did not adhere to the M/S band change time limit, rather I
switched bands at leisure.

 

So, my mistake causes me to submit my log as a check log.  This lesson won't
soon be forgotten!
