Great job as usual Jeff and Ron! Thanks to all who participated in the
Sprint, I had FUN!
I'll have a chance to look at the log tonight when I get home, I live a
bit over an hours drive from the site. (I had to leave the site "early"
[22:30] because I had to get up at 04:30 this morning!) I'll give a
better summary after I have time to review the log.
But 57 QSOs and 27 Grids...
I was due to be out of town next week, but with Uncle in hiatus I will
be home (have to flip a coin with W8ZN to see who ops the 432 MHz Sprint!).
Very 73,

Nice job Ron. About the same here, though I managed to find 3 FN34's.
Also 2
FN35's but no FN25. And no one in WNY except LIM as you mention. I
also did
something I don't think I've done before - I actually called a couple
of times
on 223.5 and worked 3 stations. All 3 seemed to be trying in the
sprint. Nice
to see.
Total was 53 X 20 grids.
Hope to Cu on 432 next week.

Activity started out good, but only 3 QSOs in the last
1.5 hours. Kept calling toward missing nearby grids,
like FN21 & FN33/34 but no luck. I found N2SLN in FN22,
and KA2LIM in FN12 fairly quickly, but worked no other
upstate/western NY grids. It's a vast tier of 8 or 9 grids
that I never seem to find anyone in during the Sprints.
Yet during non-contest times I work those grids! Frustrating!
But I was happy to work more than one FN35, FN43, FM18, & FM19.
It's a lot of fun just to hear familiar voices.
45 Q's & 16 Grids total.
TNX to all who answered my calls and to the
Sponsors. See you in the 432 Sprint.
-73, Ron WZ1V, FN31rh
