[VHFcontesting] The 50MHz Spring Sprint...

[Marshall-K5QE]

Hello all 50MHz ops...I plan to run the 50MHz Spring Sprint on Saturday 
afternoon.  If there is any Es, then clearly I will be on SSB looking 
for contacts.  IF the band is "dead" then I will be running FSK441 
meteor scatter on 50.265MHz...my standard spot.  Since this Sprint has 
reasonable rules, I will be able to post on PingJockey whenever I am 
running MS and looking for contacts that way.  Rather than making 
specific schedules, just look for me on PingJockey and we can run.

I encourage everyone to get on and "make some noise" during the Sprint 
times.  I am really bad about time conversions, but the Spring begins at 
2000Z, which I believe is 3PM CDST.  The Sprint runs 4 hours until 2400Z 
= 7PM CDST.  At least I hope all that is right....

The rules have changed now to QSOs times unique grids, so we are back to 
the same scoring as all the other contests.  I don't know if that is 
good or bad.

In any case, I plan to be there, so if you can find a bit of time 
Saturday afternoon, get on and run the 6M Sprint.  These things are 
relatively short, so they are not so much of a drudge as the longer VHF 
contests.  Actually, they are fun....please remember to send your logs 
in for the Sprint.  You might be surprised and win something.....
