Comments:

Had originally wanted to put in a full-time effort, but was committed 
to a
cookout at the preacher's house instead. Got on as soon as I could 
after getting
home.

Probably missed two or three Qs from my mistakes. More than once I 
pressed the
wrong button and erased the exchange just as the QSO was complete. I 
left the Q
in place so the other guy wouldn't lose credit.

Had the same problem just once that I reported last sprint -- called 
CQ, send my
exchange, missed something in the other fellow's exchange, and someone 
is
already calling him while I'm sending NR? NR? NR? NR? over and over 
again.

I think we have to change the protocol of the sprint. Stations should 
hold off
calling until the station leaving the frequency sends di-dit to confirm.

Glad to work K9AY in the 'test. Gary used to live just a few miles from 
me and
always showed up in my log. But I hadn't worked him in a contest since 
he moved
away.
