Comments:  I probably have done less than five Sprints in my  life.  It 
took a little getting used to.   I used manual keying  as I couldn't type in 
the call signs fast enough to use computer keying.
 
Post contest analysis:  I should have left 20m sooner for 40m.  I  spent 
too much time on 40m and should have gone to 80m about 20 minutes  sooner.  
That is lack of experience in this contest.  I got close to  300.  My goal was 
250.  I recall that the highest I had in the past  was 260.  So I am happy 
with the result.
 
Activity was very good.  I never had a slow time.
 
Contacts per hour:
Hr 1 - 75
Hr 2 - 77
Hr 3 - 66 (Stayed on 40 too long)
Hr 4 - 72
 
The W6SX Prime Directive to have fun was achieved.
