4 QSOs, 3 Grids (EM79,EM89,EM68), 2 states (OH,IN). Claimed score of 12.
All easy contacts, just not very many locals on the airwaves. Again, another
contest with no sign of anyone else on in Kentucky. No sign of anyone on in
Tennessee.
Admittedly I wasn't around the radio much, maybe spent 20-30 minutes total. Did
walk in and check the band from 2-3 times an hour during the first couple hours
and it sounded dead each time I checked. A few folks came on after nightfall,
but that was it.
6 meters never opened up. As such this sprint was limited to locals/semi-locals
only. Needless to say with local activity probably barely a third of what it
used to be, the pickings were pretty slim.
Hoping the June contest and Field Day will help stir things up some more. I've
said before that I think the 6m Spring Sprint is held a few weeks too early.
Oh well, I did get to work the 100th anniversary special event station at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (W9IMS) on Sunday. That was a neat 6 meter contact.
