K9AY SOHP SO1.5R (2nd radio LP):  250 x 44 = 11,750

20:  89Q
40:  95Q
80:  66Q

Not a great Sprint -- made me remember why I didn't operate Sprint for 8 years
after trying it couple times!

Missed KY, AR, MT, WY, NE, SD, KH6 and only got VE5 and VE3!  One QSO out of
sync several times with K4FXN, VX2AWR and J38A. Heard a V31 warming up before
the contest but never heard again.  Only NA DX was XE and KP4.

First 1/2 hour was pretty good (for me), then I got beat five times in a row on
20 and it really bummed me out.  I relaxed a bit--maybe too much--and worked on
2-radio technique. Low power worked surprisingly well on 40 before the masses
arrived, and on 20 after things moved to 40.

(2) IC-765 + (1) Alpha 99
X9 @ 65 ft. + 2-el 40 @ 75 ft. + 80M vert.

73, Gary
K9AY
