Comments:

I had plenty of problems right from the start. The 144 PA  blew up when I first
turned it on and I only had 65 watts on 144 for setting up skeds. I never could
get a hold of K1RZ or K3GNC and others as a result, so I missed plenty of sked
attempts. My 3456 station was full of water so no QSOs there. Only one QSO on
10 GHz with K1TEO. Nothing heard from WB2RVX on 10 GHz, but we did work on 1.2
and 2304 for my best DX. Conditions were poor with fog and drizzle here, which
always makes for degraded conditions. Still, I was very happy with the
activity. I think that 17 QSOs is an alltime high for me in the MW Sprint! 
Things were slow enough that I took apart the 144 amp and managed to get it
running right at the close of the Sprint. At least the tube survived the arc
over! (Whew!)
