Comments:

I fired up the KPA-0.0033 amplifier and tried to dash across the 
road in front of the speeding trucks. With the big and clicky KWs 
on the band, QRP has to dodge the crashing alligators. 

20m conditions were poor, so people left early. It was clear people 
were leaving the band after the first half-hour. I dashed until 0106z 
when I went 10 minutes without a QSO, so I had to leave...

40m QRP with still 90 minutes until sunset, among the crashing 
alligators - fun! I worked CA, CA, CA ... you get the idea. Eventually 
I managed to get noticed and 40m got better and better, so of course 
people left to 80m.

Finally at the last half-hour I ventured onto 80m, where the poor rate 
of 8 QSOs in 20 minutes chased me back to 40m for 4 new ones. 
On 80m, when there are KWs to work, the tired alligators don't 
bother for a weak signal, its just the nature of a Sprint.

Not as fast or fun as the Thursday night NS Sprints, but enjoyable 
to hear and work all the usual suspects.
