K5ZD Sprint score

[Randy Thompson]

This was one contest I was happy to agree to my wife's request to skip =
it!

Operated first 10 minutes, took next hour or so off, then operated the =
rest.

Only W1WEF and K1KI moved my S-meter on 20.  40 was OK but long.  80 was =
almost fun.  Close in sigs had flutter, but were loud.  The west coast =
was booming in.

20m   12
40m   83
80m  108
     ---
     203  x  47  =3D  9,541=20

Yuck.  I don't remember the sprint suffering this badly during the last =
sunspot minimum.  But then again, I was operating about 20 miles from =
where KR0Y is now!
