Howdy all

Once again I am going to do a short rove in tomorrow night's sprint. 
Tentative schedule is as follows:

7 PM EDST (2300Z)      FN43XR

8 PM EDST (0000Z)      FN53AT

9:30 PM EDST (0130Z)   FN44XA

10:30 PM EDST (0230Z)  FN54AB

All times are approximate and based on my results on the same route last 
October.  My original goal then was to be in each grid on the hour, and 
I will try the same this time, but it got busy in FN53 in October and I 
stayed longer that I intended.

Hope to work a bunch of you.  I have 100W, SSB/CW, and a 15 element Yagi 
courtesy of K1WHS.

A brief rant:  Last fall, I did not send in my logs.  I was lazy.

I worked 11 unique calls.  Only 2 of them sent in logs.

Ultimately, the sponsors of all contests have to judge participation by 
the number of logs received.  If we want these events to continue, we 
need to let them know we're out there.

For more on this issue, read W3ZZ's "The World Above 50 MHz" column in 
the April 2007 QST.

Enough said.

73 & CU Wednesday evening
