     Comments:

     Finally made the magic 300 mark. Makes me remember the 1991
     Sprint, which was the first contest I tried after getting back
     into ham radio contesting after a 15 year absence. After
     15 minutes and 4 QSOs I quit. Just couldn't figure it out.
     I also couldn't copy code at those speeds. I always thought
     if I could make 300 QSOs I could call myself a sprinter.

     I worked everything I heard except WY. Had KP3L call in for
     the only DX. Missed RI, VT, LA, MS, MT, NV, WY, NE, SD & VE1,2,3,5,8

     I got the feeling 80 didn't go long until late, as it was the only
     band I got beat out on consistantly.
