Kind of a mixed experience. My first Sprint in maybe 5 years, and I had
real trouble getting into the rhythm of the thing. If it hadn't been
for an N1MM+ message file with some built-in helps, I would have been
really at sea. Finally packed it in at 90 minutes, without ever getting
to 80.
I was disappointed by the level of operating - particularly by those who
continued calling despite the called station having asked for a
particular station (with a partial call), as well as those failing to
wait until the previous QSO was really completed (with an "R" or other
ack). On the other hand, I made a lot of mistakes too.
104 Q's in 90 minutes, 38 mults = 3,952 points. K3/KPA-1500, Carolina
Windom at ~40 feet (my tribander is down in the back yard)
