[peter h]

8QSO; 3Grids; Score 24
Very few stations on, but worked 4 guys in Moorpark, CA, thetown to the North
of me. They had actually heeded my e-mails promoting SPRINTactivity! 
Best DX: W6PQL (CM97an) on CW (RST 579 w/QSB) & SSB at290Mi/467Km. W6PQL QTH: Freemont, CA) 
Only SSB QSOs were with K6TSK & W6PQL. Some of the FMOperators used ALINCO DJ-G29s (222/902MHz FM handheld) w/whip or very smallyagi. Hopefully they will also get on for 902MHz & Up SPRINT also. 
My rig: FT736/100W T.E. brick/M>2 9 element yagi locatedon very small hilltop (~900ft above sea level) in Thousand Oaks, CA. 
Went QRT at 8:20PM due generator fuel exhaustion: onlyMurphy problem this time.
