Going to try my first SKCC 2 hour sprint Tuesday.. any tips or advice

Brian, obviously, we didn't find each other this SKS. But it's awesome that you tried and obviously succeeded! If you can, I highly recommend you try the upcoming Weekend Spring (WES). The exchange format is the same. But the event stretches over a whole weekend. So the pace is generally much more relaxed. You can also use spotting sites and the SKCC sked page, which can be a big help if you have questions, want to set up a sked with a particular station, etc.

I only made one Q because weekdays are bad for me, but it was the bonus station!

Please DON'T give EVERYONE a RST599, be honest, I give out plenty of 459 reports on the higher bands where propagation is weak. This is not the SS or WWDX contest !
