Are you... 
--> tired listening to those "@#£$%" that park on a frequency CQing 
      for hours? 
--> tired seeing the people who live in "£§&@#%" win one contest after 
      another just because they are in a rare country/zone? 
--> tired exchanging 59/599 without knowing who's on the other side? 
--> tired operating only 4 hours in a contest? 
--> tired waiting months to see the final results? 
--> tired...?

If your answers are *any combination* of Yes/No/Maybe, then the 
Eu Sprint is YOUR contest!

Join the fun 4 times a year!
