Comments:

This was much more fun than the SSB Sprint.  I more than
doubled my QSO count, and more than quadrupled my score.
My best two hours were the first and the last.

On 20m I can easily work the east coast, but 40m was a
lot more of a struggle.  Then when I moved to 80m in the
last quarter of the third hour, my rate went up.  I give
all the credit to my vertical.

I'm using my 160m vertical as a top-loaded half wave
vertical on 80m, and it seems to really work.  Only three
or four stations were louder on my 40m dipole, loaded as a
short dipole on 80m.  I managed to work CT and NJ on 80,
and was called by VE3EJ for a big surprise.

My biggest problem was getting into the swing of the Sprint.
I didn't really start to do well until I moved to 80m.
Also had a momentary case of fumblitis, when I couldn't seem
to press the right keys for TRLOG.  Gotta get over this :-)
There were probably a few stations wondering what strange
sequence I was sending :-)

Anyway, I had fun, and that's the name of the game.
Now to get ready for the CQ WW DX.  Hope to hear you all in
the chase.
