Up here in FN42, I tripled the amount of q's that I made over the fall
sprints. That's not really that hard when my total for the fall sprints was
3 q's and 2 grids :)
With my circular polarized yagi at 30ft I managed to work 10q's in 7 grids
for 70 points. Best DX that I had was K2TXB in FM29 and N3FJM in FN20. I
was listening to the NE for AL1VE in FN54 but didn't hear a peep even when
he was talking with Dave, K1WHS. I did manage to hear someone in FM18, I
think possible the call was KE2N, but he was in the noise, even with the
DSP is was a hard copy.
I hope some of you managed to work Mark, N1NLR, down in FM19. I think I've
been successful in giving him the VHF/UHF bug. This was his first contest,
and he just barely managed to get an antenna in the air, but he made a few
contacts. You'll likely hear him on the air for the 6m sprints coming soon.
For the 6m Sprints, I've been thinking about giving rover a shot. I'll
probably start in FN51 then work my way home through FN41, finally to FN42.
See you on the air!
