The band was relatively quiet in EN82ir.  From 7 PM local to 9 PM
local, I was able to make six QSOs in two grid squares.  I heard a
third, but was unable to make that QSO.

Total agreement here!  :-)  My station is a FT-736R, advertised as 25
W, 40 feet of 9913, and a Cushcraft A27010S advertised as 10dBd and at
31 feet AGL, aimed south.

I hope to hear all of you during the 70 cm Sprint!
