EU SPRINT 2002
In 1994 the EU Sprint Gang (I2UIY, OK2FD, DL6RAI, and G4BUO) organized  the 
first European Sprint contests. For 2001 there have been some rule changes, 
introducing an awards programme and bringing the Spring Sprints forward  in 
the  calendar.  You can find past scores and other  information  about  the 
sprints  by  visiting  the official EU Sprint web  site  at  this  address: 
<http://loja.kkn.net/~i2uiy/>.
The BIG news is that now we will award a certificate to the winners in each 
country but this is not all. Three nice plaques will be awarded for the top 
three scores from all four contests combined. Therefore, please red  circle 
the  four EU Sprint saturdays on your calendar, we will be looking for  you 
starting April 13!

EU SPRINT 2002
The  EU Sprint Gang hereby invites you to participate in the four  European

Please  note  that  BOTH stations MUST repeat  BOTH  callsigns  DURING  the 
exchange. 
A valid exchange is: "OK2FD de I2UIY 118 Paolo" while "OK2FD 118 Paolo"  is 
NOT a valid exchange.
SPECIAL  QSY  RULE: if any station initiates a call (by sending  CQ,  QRZ?, 
etc.),  he is permitted to work ONLY one station on the same frequency.  He 
must  thereafter  move  AT LEAST 2 (two) kHz before  he  may  call  another 
station or before he may solicit again (CQ, QRZ?, etc.) other calls.
VALID  CONTACTS:  valid contacts are QSOs correctly logged  and  confirmed. 
Each  operator  may  use ONE and ONLY one name during the  Sprint.  If  the 
exchange is copied incorrectly, that operator will receive zero (0) points. 
In case of miscopied callsigns, both stations will receive zero (0)  points 
for that QSO.
SCORING:  each valid QSO counts one 1 (one) point. The final score  is  the 
total number of QSOs.
AWARDS: Colorful certificates will be issued to the winners of each Sprint, 
and  to the leaders in each country. A special plaque will also be  awarded 
for  the top three scores from all four contests combined. To  be  eligible 
for this award an operator must enter at least three of the Sprints in  the
