[NLRS] Rules & dates/times for the Fall Sprints

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

By the same reasoning I presume you could work Indiana and Ohio during 
their first hour giving them points but getting none yourself. The 
effect is lengthening the supposed to be short sprint. Perhaps it would 
be more effective to work them off the log to make schedules (RF skeds 
are allowed by the rules) for when you have two hours of mutual contest 
time.

Sprint activity out here near the Boondocks has been so quiet its very 
discouraging to turn the radio on and hear the same nothingness as at 
noon in July on 160 meters.
