I made a list of nearly a dozen " typical infractions" by the 
in-experienced sprinters, but not by call sign ( tho I remember a few).
There was plenty of promotion on all the contest reflectors and RTTY 
reflectors about procedure, but evidently,
many don't subscribe to any reflectors.  Next time I'll email those 
'offenders' who might or might not appreciate my offering.
Or, I might not do this sprint again.  It was much worse than any 
previous RY sprints I've tried. Humbug!
