European Sprint Contest - Spring SSB -  April 19, 2008
------------------------------------------------------

2008 is the 15th year since when EU Sprint was born. The
first two winners were DL6RAI (CW) and IK6BOB (SSB). It
seems yeasterday...

We went thru a full sunspot cycle so we had the chance to 
experience any kind of propagation and this time, probaby,
we hit the bottom. Everybody can say in his own language
"poor conditions" (!£$%&?@#§).

Only 6 entrants over the 100 QSOs mark means that all three
bands were REALLY poor. It is not easy naming the one band 
that was the worst, no "money" bands this time.

Fil, CT1ILT, won his 4th Sprint while Ton, ES5TV, ended 2nd 
for the second time. Third place goes to John, YP9W, operated
by YO9WF.
The big score difference between the first two and the others
is given by SO2R that becomes even more relevant when conditions
are so lousy. Unfortunately not many can do that profitably.

While the relatively big difference between CT1ILT and ES5TV 
comes from the many 001 that Fil got from USA stations that 
called him on 20. This is a kind of work that you can do only 
if you're in CT... there are no other ways to log 35 QSOs more 
than ES5TV.

Finally the Low Power guys "took the power" and, for the first 
time, we have got more LP logs then HP. The top Low Power score 
belongs to OK6Y operated by OK2PTZ. He beated IK4VET, EI4GXB 
and LZ4UU.

This time we had 7 Golden Logs that belong to GW4BLE, LZ2UZ, 
MM0GOR, PA0MIR, PA3AAV, UA4FER and YB2ECG. Congratulations!

We will not make any change to dates and Rules for 2008.
So you better red-circle the first (4) and the second (11)
Saturday in October 2008 and be ready for the next two 2008
Sprints.

Thanks to all the Eu Sprinters for their entries and please 
don't forget to check our web site <www.eusprint.com> where 
you can see and download all the logs and the UBN reports of 
all entrants as well as a lot of information about log checking,

Legend

 (1) Call wrong. QSO was found in another station's log with a similar 
     callsign.
 (2) QSO is in other station's log but not at this time 
     (within 5 minutes) and band.
 (3) Your call was miscopied in the other log. 
 (4) Not in log. This was not a good QSO.
 (5) Name miscopied - we have other station's log.
 (6) Number miscopied - we have other station's log.
 (7) Name miscopied - many others have worked the same station 
     with a different name. We have no log from him but the fact is
     proven by majority.
 (8) Callsign miscopied - many others have worked a station with
     a similar callsign and this very name. We have no log from him 
     but the fact is proven by majority.
 (9) QSO invalid. Either number or name missing, callsign incomplete
     or impossible or QSO manually deleted for other reasons.
(10) Wrong Band.
(11) This QSO is a dupe.
      
In cases (1), (2) and (3) the QSO is being deleted both in your and the
other station's log. In all other cases, the QSO is deleted in your log
only.
