However, as I stated above, this is in no way an argument against  the QSY 
rule for Sprints: I think it is what makes a Sprint-rule contest  the true 
test of operating skill. It just isn't always a rule that favours  the Little 
Pistol.




Nothing is perfect and I think it is pretty well known that power / big  
antennas is a big advantage in the Sprint as you need to get the guy on the  first 
call.  I think all of us have been stomped on a lot in this  one.  The fact 
that there is now a lower power category in the Sprint  somewhat offsets this 
advantage.  Still, I think the Sprint continues to be  the premier skill event. 
 I still admire the guys that can do the Sprint  with SO2R (and get big 
score.)
