Score : 7,336

Single op, low power, six bands

Rig is FLEX-50000 w/DEMI transverters

Antennas are all single M2 yagis ( at ~ 60 feet )

I had hoped to be on 2304 MHz, got the antenna and rotor loop up but 
didn't get the feed line installed in time.  Hopefully will have that 
taken care of for the Fall u-wave sprint.

Saturday morning I got up early and went to the Chicago Radio 
Expo/Belvedere Hamfest looking for a 6M amp.  Nothing found.  When I 
returned home I was so tired that I fell asleep and missed most of the 
contest on Saturday.  Sunday morning watched the 9-11 stuff on TV, so my 
operating was late Sunday morning through the end of the contest. 
Because of that, my results were down from last year where I had 5 bands 
working and 105 Q's for a score of 9,333.

Band conditions while I was operating on Sunday were flat, no tropo 
enhancement, no e-skip.

Never heard the bulk of the Rovermania stations operating in the plains 
states. ( I did look for you )

Many thanks to the rovers I did connect with: KC0P/R, K9JK/R, W9SNR/R & 
W9SZ Hill-top Portable.

6 band sweeps with K2DRH, W9GA

5 bands with W9SZ, K2YAZ, N9UHF, W9SNR/R

4 bands with W0UC, W9ZIH, KF8QL, WZ8T

Best DX:
   50 MHz W8PGW 286.8 mi  EN82
  144 MHz K8TQK 410.0 mi  EM89
  222 MHz K2YAZ 218.8 mi  EN74
  432 MHz WZ8T  197.1 mi  EN72
  902 MHz K2YAZ 218.8 mi  EN74
1296 MHz K2YAZ 218.8 mi  EN74

73 to all and will look for you in the Fall Sprints
