Camped in Vermont Saturday night - brought some stuff to play around in the
Sprint.  Lowest power ever.  Lowest antenna ever.  Lowest score ever.

Trying to work guys in the Sprint             Priceless
Trying to explain to friends why I do this... Impossible

QRP with crappy propagation + low dipole does not make for a really fun time,
but it was fun anyway (for some value of fun)! 

Best DX: Indiana 
Best ears: KJ9C, K1KI, N2RM (N2NC)
