Had fun in the 432 sprint on Wednesday night. I arrived in FN22DW about 40 
minutes prior to the contest and unpacked the mast, rotor and beam. I had it all 
up with about 8 minutes to spare. My first contact at the strike of 7PM was with 
N2SLN who was in the same grid about 26 miles to the south of me with elevation. 
Worked a few distant stations like K1WHS, WZ1V, VE3ZV, and KW1AM. I moved to the 
next grid FN12NW about 20 miles away and picked up more stations to the south of 
me than in the previous grid. In all a total of 16 contacts were made all on 
phone as my straight key was left in the shack (always forget to bring it). I 
hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. Mike KC2PLJ/R
