[CQ-Contest] Last Night's Sprint

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Kind of a mixed experience.  My first Sprint in maybe 5 years, and I had 
real trouble getting into the rhythm of the thing.  If it hadn't been 
for an N1MM+ message file with some built-in helps, I would have been 
really at sea. Finally packed it in at 90 minutes, without ever getting 
to 80.

I was disappointed by the level of operating - particularly by those who 
continued calling despite the called station having asked for a 
particular station (with a partial call), as well as those failing to 
wait until the previous QSO was really completed (with an "R" or other 
ack).  On the other hand, I made a lot of mistakes too.

104 Q's in 90 minutes, 38 mults = 3,952 points.  K3/KPA-1500, Carolina 
Windom at ~40 feet (my tribander is down in the back yard)
