[RTTY] BARTG COMMENTS

Hi,
 
The BARTG "Sprint" is no more a sprint than Le Mans is a drag race.   
Anything that's 86,400,000 milliseconds long is hardly sprint-like.  And  I'd 
rather think they eliminated the RST out of good sense.  (I have a rich  
fantasy life. Let me be).  
 
Is there a contest where the objective is not to work as many stations as  
possible?  
 
Well, maybe there once was.  Back in 1988 when KH2D was in Guam, he  
entered the CQ WW SSB contest as a 160M single band station.  He worked one  other 
Guam station for country and zone mults but zero points, zero score.   He 
sent in his log and won, there being a substantial loophole in the  rules, 
which has since been closed down.  I'm not making this up.  You  can see the 
certificate on kh2d.net; click on awards, then the upper right  certificate.

This  contest is called a "SPRINT" and thus probably one of the reasons the 
exchange  does NOT include RST, only serial number.  A
"SPRINT" to me is a  contest where rate is KING and the objective is to 
work as many stations as  possible in a short amount of  time
