I actually participated in the F.I.S.T.S. Fall CW Sprint yesterday. It ran from noon (local) to five P.M. but other commitments required me to leave at 3:15. In that three hours, running either 2 (20 meters) or 4 ( 40 and 15 meters) watts, I managed 18 contacts in 14 states and Canada. This was at a relaxed pace with several breaks. My goal was to get over 1000 points on my 1st time, and I got 1350.
Not a bad experience, and the new keyer made it a lot easier.
