[VHFcontesting] KK6MC/r in 6M Spring Sprint

[James Duffey]

I will be on Saturday May 10th for the 2008 6M spring Sprint, 2300Z,  
to 0300 Z. Look for me.

Virginia is out of town with the normal rover vehicle, so I will have  
to outfit the old 4Runner for this effort. Good thing the contest is  
Saturday evening. I am still not quite sure how I will do this.

The location and schedule will be much the same as for the 2M spring  
sprint:

DM74 2300Z to 0000Z
DM75 0030Z to 0130Z
DM65 0200z to 0230z

If we get some good propagation, I may stay longer at a grid square.  
Or if activity wanes, I may leave early. But I will try to meet the  
schedule I have set and stay at least 45 minutes at each square. I  
should be able to work into Colorado from here as well as down to Las  
Cruces. If the calling frequency gets busy I will QSY up.

The rig is an IC551D (75 Watts) to a 2 element Yagi up 14 feet. This  
will be about 24 dBW EIRP if you want to do the calculations. I will  
have CW for weak signals.

The Sporadic E season has started so there is a small but finite,  
maybe 15% to 20%, chance of Sporadic E.
Please listen  for me. Thanks for your time and good luck in the  
sprint. - Duffey
