Comments:

Another challenging experience for me.  After reading the "Sprint CW Rookie 
Guide" for the 5th year in a row, I decided to try the slow approach and work 
above .050 and below .030 and send 24 wpm to be sure EVERYONE knew I was QRS.  
Obviously that didn't register with everyone!!  Several of the top guys are 
gonna end up losing a Q because they threw 40wpm at me and didn't wait for the 
acknowledgement or just blew me off too quickly after a fill.  I can totally 
understand why there is only a small group doing CW sprints due to the "shark 
infested waters".  I have been around for several years and was comfortable 
sticking it out but I am sure there are many a guy who says "screw it" and 
never return.  Anyway, after 103 practice QSO's on 20m, I decided to kick it up 
to 30wpm and join the fray on 40/80 where I seemed to be much more welcomed.  
Hope everyone enjoyed the Q's.
Will miss the SSB sprint this weekend since I am getting "hitched" so catch you 
all in Jan/Feb 2002!
