Hi Ed and all, Just so you know, I heard W3SO during the 222 sprint from my rover station up here in FN54io.. Signal was s3-s5 with qsb. I called and called with my 25 watts to no avail - not surprised about that.. At any rate, I will be on for the 432 sprint with the same power so listen HARD to the Northeast!! bill, K1DY Maine
