[RTTY] Sprints

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Sprinting isn't all that difficult to learn and it is fun.  I learned  by 
participating in the Thursday evening RTTY events where the power limit  is 
100w.
 
So naively I decided to do the contest last March.  Well, I  was surprised 
to learn high power was allowed.  I gave it a try anyway  but was a short 
guy in a jump ball contest.  Not my kind of ball  game.
 
I mentioned this to K6MR whose response was along the line, "I feel your  
pain but I think more is better."  I think he meant more  power.  Rather than 
more participants. 
 
I don't think he was referring to my pain.
 
A suggestion for a Thursday morning session fell flat.

To get  familiar with Sprints and the QSY rule you need to join the practice
group  that meets every Thursday at 0145z to 0215z 

They usually are on 14080  - 7080 - 3580.  

Operators like KI8W need to join this group and  learn how to work the
sprints before a real contest. I joined the group at  age 89 and although I
am not as experienced as others I still am fairly  good in a sprint and have
some fun..
