It's not really bad news either, Sid, if they do get cancelled. There are
several thousand RTTY contesters, and only about 30 logs were being
submitted. If the Sprints get cancelled, plese don't take that as any sign
of a decline in RTTY contesting. In fact, the opposite is true. There are
a LOT of RTTY contests - You will have plenty of fun for a long, long time!
Like you, I do enjoy a short contest... like the NAQP. 73 - John
