[Ed Steeble]

W3SO had 87 QSOs, 33 grids, for a claimed score of 2871.

OPERATORS:     W3BTX
SOAPBOX:       The major surprise was that only one VE was heard (and worked)
SOAPBOX:       – VE3FGU. The best DX was K9HM (EN52) and KN4SO (FM16). We had
SOAPBOX:       a clean sweep with W4SHG/R in grids FM08, FM09, FM19, and FM18.
SOAPBOX:       We do appreciate all the rover’s QSOs, and thanks to all of
SOAPBOX:       them for getting on with these gas prices. All thanks to the
SOAPBOX:       Southeastern VHF Society for sponsoring the Fall Sprints. There
SOAPBOX:       were no equipment failures, (1 KW to 25 elements at 95 feet),
SOAPBOX:       and we were on for the full four hours. Activity was good
SOAPBOX:       despite baseball playoffs on TV. Conditions were above normal
SOAPBOX:       with better than usual copy on the Packrat’s beacon and on
SOAPBOX:       another in VA. CU in the 6m sprints.
