WQ6X Sprints thru some ThoTs on the North American SPRINT Contest

Feb 1st being situated on a Saturday brings us the 1st NA Sprint (Ssb] contest of the year. 
Being only 4-hours, Sprint operations are the epitome of Get-in - Exchange - Get-out operations. 
With the exception of the serial # in the exchange, everything else is "canned" and CAN be stored
in Voice Memory #2 in the remote K3 transceiver.

Unlike the East coast, on the West coast, operations are sequentially simple: open the contest
on 20-meters; approx. ~90-minutes later move down to 40-meters for ~90-minutes and slip in
80/75 meters in more-or-less the last hour. or so.

With its special QSY rule, the run frequency advantage is spread out amongst the different players
in the contest.  The downside of this (especially for OPs running QRP like me) is that we often get walked on by HP and even LP stations.  As the contest progresses, the WQ6X callsign becomes
a more valued commodity and stations are often more accommodating of weaker signals.

Similar to the NAQP GiGs, the Sprint exchanges include Name / State, making it more
personable. The serial # gives us an idea of how we stand in relation to other operators.

LooKing back on recent QRP SPRINT runs, it would seem that WQ6X is capable
of QRP survival amidst the NA SPRINT pandemonium.

While I look forward to NA Sprint GiGs, after 4-hours of pandemonium,
I am also relieved to be done with it all.

Do YOU work the NA SPRINT Contests?
