Well I am new...But,
More than a couple of times I was waiting to pounce so I could get 2 Q's and
as a QSO finished I tried but didn't make it and waited for the next to
finish and the guy who had left B-4 was back to work the next guy in line.
Thats ok if he QSYed and made a Q between the two, but I started listening
and caught more than a few that should know better working the next guy and
their number sent was one more than the Q B-4. Also about the callsign
sequence, I've told guys who have been in this thing for years about where
you give your call to make sure the next guy knows who's freq. They didn't
have a clue and thought I was making it up! I wouldn't know if N5RZ hadn't
elmered me B-4 my first Sprint. Maybe some of these things should be
highlighted in the rules and all be advised to read them again.
C ya next time..

K6LL Phone Sprint summary:
BAND QSOs
________________
80 54
40 71
20 193
________________
total: 318 QSOs X 51 mults = claimed score: 16,218
Conditions were good here on all bands. Some of the W9's were so loud on
20 that my TS850 rx was overloading (pseudo-splatter,) even with the AIP
enabled (RF amplifier disabled.) I don't ever remember seeing signals that
loud. Other signals were quite weak though, and there were about five qso's
that just could not be completed.
I went back to low-tech for this event: One radio, two band changes, an old
version of NA for logging. Equipment, same as usual: TS850, SB220,
KT34XA@49', 40-2CD@55', bent half sloper for 80.
Didn't spend enough time on 80 (30 minutes.) The last 10 and past 10 qso rates
were about 112 at the very end of the contest on 80.
