[SESprint] Dry run before Sprint

[Scott R.]

Why not do the Sprint run Friday night?  I think one of
the California contest clubs did this for 15 minutes on
80 meters and it went over pretty well.  In any case, I 
am all for this idea, but my likelihood of making it
to operate is much higher Friday night than on Saturday
during the day.  Un-PC for me to be playing radio during
the day when I'll be gone that night to do the same thing.
Plus at some point on Sat. I have to make the 90 min drive
down to K4JNY and set up the stuff to Sprint from there.
