Soapbox:
N6ZE operated for 2.0 hours from a ridge in the Santa Monica Mountains (CA).
Weather was great! Temperature was 80 deg. F & visibility was in excess of
50 miles. Now for activity levels: not many ARRL SW Division area hams bothered
to get on the air for this SPRINT. Three QSOs were made on 1296.1 MHz (23cm)
& 4 QSOS were made on 902.1 (33cm) MHz FM Simplex.
W6QIW near Santa Barbara was best DX at 115.06 km, on both 23cm & 33cm.
In Thousand Oaks, CA, (DM04ne), newly licensed General Class Licensee, Stu,
KK6SUV, borrowed my ‘extra’ ALINCO handheld and “VJB Cheapie Yagi” to
make his initial 33 cm contacts. Hopefully he will continue to operate on the
VHF/UHF/Microwave Bands after this initial exposure.
I continue to support and promote the VHF/UHF SPRINT Program as I have for many
years and I passionately encourage others, particularly HFers &
“Newbies”, to try VHF/UHF communicating without resorting to the use of
repeaters. 
Rig: 23cm: FT736 (10w) + M-2 horizontally polarized yagi; 33cm: ALINCO FM
Handheld (2.5watts) & small M-2 yagi. Operating location was at about 2380
ft. above sea level.
NOTE: It is time for ARRL to again sponsor the Spring & Fall VHF/UHF SPRINT
Program!
