I had a late start due to work commitments. I got the rover set up in  
about 45 minutes and hit the road at 0045, 15 minutes before the  
contest started. I worked a couple of stations in transit to DM74, my  
first stop. I got to DM74 at 0120, about 20 minutes late. After that  
things went smoothly. There was the usual local activity from DM65. I  
also tried to work south and north on schedule, but didn't raise   
anyone. This has to work some day. I had one op who had e-mailed me  
that he only had FM capability on 432 MHz, so I made arrangements to  
meet him at each grid square on a frequency removed from the calling  
frequency. This worked well as I worked him in each grid I operated  
from. Much better turnout and score than from the 222 MHz contest last  
week.

I love the Sprints. One evening, one band, I can get to 4 grids in the  
time allocated and it is all over fairly quickly. Quick set up and  
quick tear down. Great fun! - Duffey
