[VHFcontesting] N1JFU - 432 Sprints

[Steve Meuse <smeuse@mara.org>]

Up here in FN42, I tripled the amount of q's that I made over the fall 
sprints. That's not really that hard when my total for the fall sprints was 
3 q's and 2 grids :)

With my circular polarized yagi at 30ft I managed to work 10q's in 7 grids 
for 70 points. Best DX that I had was K2TXB in  FM29 and N3FJM in FN20. I 
was listening to the NE for AL1VE in FN54 but didn't hear a peep even when 
he was talking with Dave, K1WHS. I did manage to hear someone in FM18, I 
think possible the call was KE2N, but he was in the noise, even with the 
DSP is was a hard copy.

I hope some of you managed to work Mark, N1NLR, down in FM19. I think I've 
been successful in giving him the VHF/UHF bug. This was his first contest, 
and he just barely managed to get an antenna in the air, but he made a few 
contacts. You'll likely hear him on the air for the 6m sprints coming soon.

For the 6m Sprints, I've been thinking about giving rover a shot. I'll 
probably start in FN51 then work my way home through FN41, finally to FN42. 
See you on the air!
