Comments
The NAQP is a magnificent contest!  15m was great early in the contest, 20m was not.  A good 10m opening to the upper midwest provided a lot of QSOs in a short time there.  20m was on fire later at night and got me a whole pile of high rate QSOs from the west.  I really had a ball!

I entered my log into an Excel spreadsheet, ran some calculations and produced an interesting graph of my progress over the contest period.  This kind of data will be a useful study for my next NAQP contest. Click on the image for a larger version.

The graph shows the growth in QSOs, Mults, and Score over time.  It also shows the rate for the past 10 QSOs at each point and the band I was on at the time.  The good early and late runs are easily seen in the peaks of the rate graph.

Thanks to everyone for the QSOs!  This is a new all time high NAQP score for me.
