Had a great time, 3 rigs, 3 amps, 3 antennas, quick band changes, nothing
broke.

246/45  11,070 points

20:   66    TS-940, Henry 3K, 6-el Telrex at 120'

40:   86     FT-1000, N2FB homebrew 4-1000, 2-el Telrex at 76'

80:   94     FT-1000, Alpha 77, dipole at 160'

I guess I was about person #9 to joint the Mad River RC team, KP4XS being
#10.

When I first started doing sprints it seemed like the activity stayed on 20
for about 90
minutes, then to 40 for about 90 minutes, and 80 for the last hour.  When I'd
go to 80
early there'd be no one to work.  Quite different now, with the sunspots
down!
Everyone goes to 40 and 80 early, like an hour at most on 20, then 90 mins
each on
40 and 80.  Looking forward to the next ones (meaning phone and CW)  73 -
Rich, KE3Q
