FELD HELL SPRINT (24 HR) CONTEST
BAND  Q's S\P  DX

SCORE: 162  SO2R LP (100w)

This was a 24 sprint ( most are a few hours) but I was
able to operate ONLY a few hours mostly on Friday night.
FH is a fun mode but not widely used. It is
an old mode, being used before WWII. I am
surprised how well it performs on week signals.
I think the activity is better on the short
sprints where activity is concentrated.  Conditions
were poor - I heard a number of EU and SA stations
but they could not hear me which is unusual.
If you have never used FH, give it a try.  Something
different and fun.
