6.  FISTS Spring Sprint.  17-21Z Sat.  80-10M CW.  Power limit 100 
watts.  Exchange:  RST + SPC + FISTS # or power.

7.  50 mhz Spring Sprint.  12Z Sat to 03Z Sun.  6M.  Must exchange 4 
character grid square (e.g. EM72), but rules SUGGEST exchanging six 
character grid square (e.g. EM72ML).  Website has a map finder to show 
which six character grid square you are in if you input your 4 character 
grid square.

Hope everyone has a good week and weekend and makes a lot of QSOs.  I 
will try to be full-time in the FISTS Sprint and make some contacts in 
the other CW or SSB contests.  The CQ M can be fun if the bands are open 
for DX.  I hope six meters will be open during the Sprint there. 
However, someone else will have to give out the EM72 multiplier as 
Saturday is my wife's birthday and we have other plans for most of the 
contest period.

73,


John, K4BAI.
