European Sprint Contest - Spring SSB -  April 10, 2004
------------------------------------------------------

More records were broken in the spring phone sprint, with 
the top four stations all beating the previous highest score.
Joint holder of the old record, Ton ES5TV, found another 32 QSOs
to win with a score of 271, seventeen ahead of Roli, LY4A who
may have suffered from people confusing his call with Sam LY4AA.
Russia and the Baltic was the place to be this time, with the
top five scores coming from this area.

Most entrants started on 20m of course, but there was activity
on 40m early in the contest, giving Stefano IK2HKT the position
of new 40m band champion with 100 QSOs on the band. He was very
agile, making 24 band changes in all.

Low power entries were well represented, and we encourage everyone
who runs 100w or less to indicate this clearly on their entry. Low
power entrants are marked with asterisk (*) on the listing, and
congratulations to Igor UA4FER who made a score of 171 as the 
leading low power station. This would have been a winning score
ten years ago.
