However, as I stated above, this is in no way an argument against the QSY
rule for Sprints: I think it is what makes a Sprint-rule contest the true
test of operating skill. It just isn't always a rule that favours the Little
Pistol.
Nothing is perfect and I think it is pretty well known that power / big
antennas is a big advantage in the Sprint as you need to get the guy on the
first
call. I think all of us have been stomped on a lot in this one. The fact
that there is now a lower power category in the Sprint somewhat offsets this
advantage. Still, I think the Sprint continues to be the premier skill event.
I still admire the guys that can do the Sprint with SO2R (and get big
score.)
