________________
Another two meter sprint contest with fewer than 20 QSOs.
I worked six members of the Central Texas DX and Contest Club
(CTDXCC.) For comparison, I worked only two members of the
Roadrunner's Microwave Group (RMG,) the local VHF/UHF weak
signal club. There was no enhanced propagation, as near as
I could tell, and activity was so down that I didn't even work
EL29, the grid in which Houston (the fourth largest city in the
country) is located - a grid I have never before failed to
work in any contest involving two meters. Active stations in
the Dallas/Ft. Worth area are becoming scarcer and scarcer,
so I no longer expect to be able to work those grids.
