I've always liked Sprints because it is different but being in Florida for
this one sucked!

20 was gone before the contest started.  K7UP was the lone Q on 20, and he
wasn't too strong.

I had pretty good luck on 40, and did okay on 75.  

My time was split as follows:

20 meters: 20 minutes (0000-0020)
40 meters: 2 hours, 10 mins (0020-0230)
80 meters: 1 hour, 30 mins (0230-0400)

40 was rather long but I missed almost of 7-Land still and western Canada.
80 was better, but noisy.

I can't wait until fall sprints, and more daylight and hopes for better 20
meter conditions.  

Rig: HW-101, 100 watts
