Comments:

I operated for 30 minutes at he start from Raccoon Mountain, EM75ha in
Chattanooga, then drove to Lookout Mountain, EM74gv to operate for around 45
minutes before driving to the EM63/64/73/74 grid corner in Gadsden.  I did not
have an optimal setup at EM74gv thanks to a camper parked across all of the best
parking spaces at the scenic overlook, but I don't think I lost any QSOs because
of it.

The 432 Sprints always have less activity in the Southeast due to church
activities on Wednesday nights, and this one was no exception with only two
stations (K4CNY/R and K4QF) in Alabama active.  Activity was otherwise spotty
with several stations only getting on for a few minutes, making a handful of
contacts, and quitting.

Best DX was NT4RT (EM94lv) with a nice CW signal worked from EM74gv, 250 mi.

SSB 17
FT8 9
