Comments:

FT1000MP x 2 (SO2R), zepp and dipole on 40, inverted vee on 80.  20 was 
totally
dead long before the contest started, although I did listen there at the
beginning.  40 was very poor.  I could hear west coast stations W6SJ and 
W0YK
(heard but not worked on 40) plus K7NV, W9RE, and K0EJ there.  Most of the
activity quickly moved to 80 with only myself, K7NV, and W9RE continuing 
to try
40M.  I talked to Dave, K6LL, on 40 about 10 minutes before the contest 
started
and thought he would join in, but didn't hear him.  Did work W7SW for the AZ
mult (tnx Scotty!).  VA3NR had been slated to be a 40M QRP FOX for the 90
minutes before the Sprint started, but I spent most of that 90 minutes 
listening
for Chris and the other scheduled fox, K5EOA, and never heard either of 
them and
only once heard someone apparently working one of them.  As bad 
conditions as I
have experienced during the Thursday night QRP fox hunts.  However, as a 
result
of trying to find the Foxes, I did have the QSO with K6LL and a very 
nice QSO on
40M with ZS6SIG, Sig, an American working in South Africa who said I was his
first QSO on 40M.  He said to look for him in the ARRL 10M contest this 
weekend.
  Hope we get some good 10M propagation this weekend.

80 M seemed very good with better than average signals from W7WHY in 
distant OR
and strong signals from VA3NR when he got a late start after the Fox hunt.
Special thanks to K7NV, W9RE, K8AJS and K0EJ for multiple QSOs.  Score 
was down
due to lack of multipliers, but this time I worked all that I heard any 
sign of.
  See you all next Thursday!  73, John, K4BAI.
