[UK-CONTEST] Calling all sprinters

[Stewart Rolfe]

Hello Sprinters,

Enjoyed my first sprint of the year last night even with a delayed start. 

Seems though that the recommended exchange format is still not being used by the majority; this is detailed on the RSGB contest website at -  www.rsgbcc.org/hf/information/sprintQSO.shtml 

If used you can tell straight away which station is staying on frequency and is available to call (and conversely which is moving if you want to drop in a quick "up 2" etc..) without having to wait for a random "frequency is your's.." or such like right at the end. You can then call without the station staying on frequency needing to QRZ or CQ?, providing he/she leaves a pause, and knowing well beforehand if it's a dupe or not. 

73 and happy sprinting,

Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF
