Ken fails to mention that 5 of his 8 scores are from his VY2TT/SS
operations. All 8 of mine come from W6. How many serious operations
are there from Canada for each contest? 2 or 3 at most. How many
serious operations are on during the Sprints from the west coast? 7 or
8. Just as an example, during WPX CW 2004, there were a grand total of
5 VE scores in the SOABHP category. He still got 500 pts for that
contest, even though he only had to compete against 4 other guys.
The great thing about the sprint is that all the "big guns" get on for
it. There is never a lack of competition. You really have to earn
those points.
