Comments:

My first Sprint.  From reading prior soapbox comments I was nervous that this
contest would be too difficult -- high speed CW and terrible QRM.  The reality
was not bad at all.  My computer crashed right in the middle of a QSO just
after I moved to 20M.  Restarted and it crashed again after 5 QSOs.  Restarted
again and found I was on QSO number 6 instead of #38.  I almost quit, but it
took me 25 mins from 0026 to 0051 to figure out how to get it working right and
regain the missing contacts.  I ended up feeling as though I could do much
better, and will certainly try again.
