[Fists] Coming in 2015

[Karl]

We will be adding 4 new Sprints to our on-air activities starting in 2015.

 

These might be considered more of a Stroll than a  Sprint, as there will be
a top speed of 13-15 wpm for all participants.  And, both parties to
contacts must QSY to the speed of the slowest of the two.

 

We want to allow members the opportunity to be able experience the Sprint
atmosphere without having to be concerned about asking a faster op to QSY to
them or fighting to copy beyond their comfort zone.  

 

These new Sprints will be specially advertised and named to avoid confusion
with our regular Sprints.

 

I do hope that some of our long time Sprint ops will also participate in
these to help the newer folks along.

 

And, yes, the  participants in the four new Sprints will have their names
put in the bucket for the end of the year drawing.

 

Dates and more info will be posted to the reflectors, on our web site and on
our FISTS Facebook page as we finalize them.
