Comments:
I started off with a bang on 20, better than I can remember in recent 
Sprints, and had almost 90 Q's the first hour (combined with some 40 
QSO's). Well rates like that don't continue although 40 was pretty hot for 
a while. I was disappointed with 80, though. It is usually my best band for 
domestic contests and I've gotten used to feeling storng there. I had 
fairly high noise levels on 80 last night and seemed to have difficulty 
copying some stations and being heard myself.

Final comment is that it really helps me to be part of a team and to use 
that as incentive to stay focused even during those frustrating times when 
it seems hard to work anyone!

Thanks to Jeff for organizing the team and also to for all the Q's from 
team members.
