Ran from home, FN03mu instead of the Rovermobile for this event.  Got 13 qso's in 10 grids.  Lots of activity in the beginning, that became very thin in the last hour or more.

Best ODX worked was KB8U EN71sw at 308 miles west, and K1RZ FM19jh to the south at 326 miles.  To the east, tried to get K1TOL, K3TKJ and K1TEO but conditions just weren't strong enough.  Close in, missed VA3DX and KA2LIM.
5 worked on cw and 8 on ssb.  Noise was low at this location, which played in my favour.  Batteries were running low at the end.

Score:  130

Many thanks to K9JK and W4SHG for promoting and running these Sprints.  Much appreciated.

73,
