[VHFcontesting] 222 Sprint results

[Chuck Watts W4XP]

Great job as usual Jeff and Ron! Thanks to all who participated in the 
Sprint, I had FUN!

I'll have a chance to look at the log tonight when I get home,  I live a 
bit over an hours drive from the site. (I had to leave the site "early" 
[22:30] because I had to get up at 04:30 this morning!)  I'll give a 
better summary after I have time to review the log.

But 57 QSOs and 27 Grids...

I was due to be out of town next week, but with Uncle in hiatus I will 
be home (have to flip a coin with W8ZN to see who ops the 432 MHz Sprint!).

Very 73,
