Comments:
  First full time effort in a Sprint. Got the exchange right most of
  the time. Did OK on 20-meters, marginal on 40m, but low power sucked
  on 75-meters. After getting a frequency on 75m, about 50% of the time
  I'd end up moving before getting a reply.

  Still learning Sprint techniques. At this point I'm not sure which
  observed techniques are good strategy and within the rules -- and which
  techniques are a violation.

  My one unusual "equipment" problem was that 2 of the 3 QSOs I had with
  K7SS resulted in crashing NA when I entered Danny's callsign!?  Just a
  coincidence, or .... ?  :-)
