[VHFcontesting] 2m Sprint :-(

[Alex]

The 2m Sprint was very disappointing for me. Zero contacts. 2.5 hours of 
static before I finally gave up. Down here near Charleston, SC (EM92) 
you get lonely quick on VHF. Called plenty of CQ, but no takers. Sure, I 
have a very modest setup with just a stacked pair of HB loops @ 30+ feet 
and 50 Watts, but that should be good for at least a few contacts.

Perhaps self spotting should be allowed for folks in grids with (very) 
low activity so that the big guns know when you're on and can turn their 
beams/stacks towards you in an attempt to make a contact.

Can you send in a 0 contact log to at least let folks know that you were 
there?
