Comments:

Umm, you ever ask yourself whether you are crazy before you do this radio stuff,
hah! To even consider QRP in a sprint I thought I was! Maybe I should of used
LOCO for the name instead of ACE. To my surprise, I really had a lot of fun.
Each QSO is like a miracle...well pretty cool at least. 

I thought the best strategy would be to find a clear freq and call CQ so that
the big boys can find me and get two QSOs out of the freq. Seemed to work ok.
Then I switched to answering CQ (guess I was feeling my signal was big).
Answering CQs almost seemed to work better than CQing. 

Guess there must be a RTTY contest going on 40m? 

Oh and to top off QRP ...I sent everything by hand... No keyer, no
radio/computer interface...almost back to the old days except for computer
logging with WriteLog. Paper logging was pushing it a little, hah! 

All in all, a fun time. I will have to try this QRP Sprint thing again. 

Best of health to all, 
Eric K9GY
