Thanks to a great publicity effort there was a good turnout in
the Spring EU SSB Sprint, with high scores and plenty of log
entries. Congratulations to the top three who all broke the 200
QSO barrier.
The very strong record of wins from Lithuania continues, this
time Roli LY2FY leads by a comfortable margin over Rob
RK3AWL and Ton ES5TV. That part of northern Europe
accounted for the top eight entries this time. 20 metres was
the strongest band for most, and everyone struggled during
the last hour of the contest on 80 metres.
Some highlights: operating from LY1YK's station, LY2FY
achieved the 2nd highest SSB score ever, just one QSO
behind the record held by ZD8Z since 1996. RK3AWL and
ES5TV achieved the third and fourth highest scores ever,
and RK3AWL made 119 QSOs on 20m, the second highest
ever 20m score. RK3AWL was operated by UA3ASZ
(a first time entrant) from the RL3A Club station using rotary
quad antennas from 20 to 80m. Once more we enjoyed
seeing several participants belonging to WWYC - World
Wide Young Contesters. Welcome guys!
Callsign errors were a big source of lost points. Remember
that the sprint rules say that both calls must be sent by
each station. This helps to reduce callsign errors, and by
sending your call at the end of your exchange when you
are to stay on the frequency, you can signal to others that
you are ready to be called. This is explained more fully on
the web site <www.qsl.net/eusprint>.
Thanks for your entries and we'll see you in the Autumn Sprints!
