Comments:
First Sprint in a while and was I rusty! I was making a lot of mental mistakes
and my fingers wouldn't hit the right keys. I luckily worked everything I heard
except for KL7WV. I sure there were some easy mults out there for the picking,
but I just didn't hear them. Just one VE in the log, what's happening there?
I felt like every QSO was a challenge, but I also sensed that several folks were
overwhelmed and packed it up early, there just wasn't that big rush at the end
of the contest. I had set a goal of 240x40 and just missed it. Maybe next
time!
Can we deconflict the Sprint schedule with the RTTY contest? We lost a lot of
participation from the non-Extras on 40M.
I also like the idea of 160-80-40, 40-20-15 and 20-15-10 Sprints at the
appropriate time of day, year and sunspot cycle. This is the ultimate contest,
why not expand it to other bands?
