SOAPBOX:

K3WWP - Well that didn't take long. I figured I'd get in the Spartan Sprint and get off to a good start, then I realized I had a chance to finish it up, so I did. I hope this challenge provides a lot of fun. It did for me, and without the challenge I would have only gotten one QSO in the sprint for my daily QSO, then QRT. So it served its purpose in my case anyway. That is, increasing activity on the CW bands.

K2EKM - Worked most of the stations for the Zip Code Challenge in the ARS Sprint Monday night. As John said, the Sprint made it easier. Funny thing - John and I tied for the earliest completion date/time for the challenge: 5/3 at 02:17 zulu! What are the chances of that?

N2AUR - This one was too much like work - hi. I'll skip the "easy" part. No endorsements.
