Comments:
Another challenging experience for me. After reading the "Sprint CW Rookie
Guide" for the 5th year in a row, I decided to try the slow approach and work
above .050 and below .030 and send 24 wpm to be sure EVERYONE knew I was QRS.
Obviously that didn't register with everyone!! Several of the top guys are
gonna end up losing a Q because they threw 40wpm at me and didn't wait for the
acknowledgement or just blew me off too quickly after a fill. I can totally
understand why there is only a small group doing CW sprints due to the "shark
infested waters". I have been around for several years and was comfortable
sticking it out but I am sure there are many a guy who says "screw it" and
never return. Anyway, after 103 practice QSO's on 20m, I decided to kick it up
to 30wpm and join the fray on 40/80 where I seemed to be much more welcomed.
Hope everyone enjoyed the Q's.
Will miss the SSB sprint this weekend since I am getting "hitched" so catch you
all in Jan/Feb 2002!
