And you're not alone, either. I decided to write my own keying and logging program for CW SS this year, and started it about 5 hours before the contest. Well... I got into the test about 3 am, pretty much about 8 hours late! First contact was KH6, which gave me some brief hope that I might actually have a shot at a clean sweep this year, but in the end, missed VE8, KL7 and (I can't believe it) LAX and RI. At least I _heard_ stations from the first three, but never even heard RI, which is only about a 90 minute drive from here!
