[RTTY] NA RTTY Sprint - win all you can as fast as you can

[Tyler Stewart]

Dont do that!  The Sprint is probably the toughest contest because of the 
QSY rule, but everybody makes a lot ofmistakes the first few times.  Come 
back next time...we need the stations!

I'd like to see it go to a low power contest like NAQP to equalize the 
signals a bit.  I've run low power and even QRP ins the sprints and it's not 
fun because it's very hard to win the pounce.  I'd also like to see band 
mults to spread the action out, but that aint goin' to happen...  It was 
pretty disgusting to have 80 wide open and no activity until the last hour.
