The Sprint has on occasion been run on Labor Day weekend, and I rather liked 
the date. I never noticed any significant difference in activity in those 
Sprints.

I typically don't have a lot doing this weekend, including this year, but the 
following weekend is the traditional date for the ARRL September VHF QSO 
Party, the WAE phone, and a zillion big hamfests on Sunday morning, including 
the local one in Findlay, Ohio.  I'd like not having those sort of conflicts!

See you next weekend in the Sprint, unless there turns out to be a major 
aurora or mega tropo opening on VHF.
