 Soapbox
 First CW Sprint for me, as evident by my lousy performance. Worked in 2
feet of snow Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm building and trimming a
40-20-15-10 metre fan dipole, found I didn't have the mental capacity to
hold much in my head. Must have lowered and raised that sucker 100 times,
sloped it South. Sure had the neighbours wondering....

 Found that several ops didn't wait until I confirmed the contact (needed
fills), so had to wipe several contacts. Had some "worked U B4s" too, but
they aren't in my log. Sorry about that, not good enough yet for the
plus-35wpm speed that seems to be the norm in this contest, but I'm trying.
Gotta keep telling myself that it's all good experience and not get discouraged.

 73, Paul.
