Comments:

After a frustrating 8 hours in Makrothen RTTY, during which stations could
barely be heard let alone worked through an ongoing G3 space wx event, the
Sprint didn't hold much attraction. 

Got on at 0209Z and was in and out several times over the final two hours --
enjoyed NHL hockey instead after CQs went unanswered for minutes at a time.
West Coast was workable, but participation was so thin I didn't get a good feel
for points beyond. 

I think dropping the dupe rule turned out a bit premature. RTTY contesting has
definitely grown, but seems it hasn't yet grown enough in sprinting to give
this one sufficient density for good no-dupe action. Was worth a try... maybe
next time out it'll prove more successful.

Space weather didn't help. Still, gotta love a good RTTY sprint even if it's
not at breakneck sprint speed.
