     Comments: Thanks to Doug to have the sense to put me on team #2. I 
thought
Sprints were like NAQP, 100 Watts.  "Where are all those +40 signals coming
from?"  Hung a list of NA commands from the Alpha but never occured to 
switch
it on.. I did manage to work Dave (K6LL) on 80 with his QRN.
IC-756 PRO DSP filters unbelieveable.  All I need now is a real antenna.
My best CW Sprint ever was back about 1991 running a Collins S Line with a
hand log. Did about 250 QSO's, had a blast, fun contest, then K6NA 
explained to
 me how hard Sprints are and I've never broke 200 again.  Now I'd rather jam
ground glass in my eyes, go to a Rapper concert, listen to a Hillery 
Clinton speech
than do a Sprint, but it's like a moth to a flame.......NEXT TIME !
