[VHFcontesting] Re: 222 Sprint Tonight ! - award correction

[Ron Klimas WZ1V]

Managed to work 16 QSOs / 13 Grids for score of 416(?). 
Operated the first hour and part of the last hour only. 
A bit of band lift to the south with NG4C FM16 and KG4HOT FM07 having good
signals. VE3TFU EN92 was a nice surprise as well. Wish there were more
stations on. Maybe if there had been more reminders of the Sprint a bit
earlier than the day of?  Also many ops probably still recovering form the
Sept. contest only a week ago. If the 144 MHz Sprint was the day after the
contest I'd be surprised if anyone got on.
