[CQ-Contest] Sprint Return

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Last night was my first Sprint in 7 or 8 years, and the rust was 
showing.  Fortunately, N1MM+ was a lot smarter than the op, so I didn't 
have to relearn all the tricks with the format of transmissions because 
my stored messages still worked well.

Goal was to have at least one QSO/minute.  After about 2 hours, that 
became less and less plausible. I went earlier than normal (in past 
years with much better antennas) to 40 and then 80, but thought the 
turnout was disappointing throughout.  I finally quit before 0300Z.

Did anyone else feel that activity was down?
