[VHFcontesting] K1DY 2M sprint from FN54

[Zack Widup]

I wish they hadn't scheduled this the next day after the 10 GHz
contest. I wrapped up the 10 GHz contest, completely exhausted after a
mad rover trip up and down Lake Michigan, at 0015Z on Sept 18 and then
had to drive 5 hours to get home at 12:30 in the morning. I didn't
want to even look at a radio on Monday.

Maybe 222 if I'm lucky.

73, Zack W9SZ

> Hi all, Very interesting last night! Got on at the start and my first contact was with N2NT in FN20 on SSB S-9!! we both said "wow"! Conditions were definitely up with pretty severe QSB. Worked 5 FN20 stations to the SW, Best DX was N3NGE at 463 miles! heard AA2UK and N3RG in FM29 but no go (I'm basically QRP here).. Best DX to North was FN46. absent in the log are a  bunch of contiguous grids.. also FN41,42,43 which are easily  workable from here..(FN43 IS contiguous). Best DX to west was probably N2SLN in FN22. Anyway worked 16 QSO's in 9 grids in 2 hours. worked 4 Pack Rats too! Oh yeah, this was all with 50 watts!
