[VHFcontesting] N6ZE (DM04ne) 70cm SPRINT Report

[peter h]

Did not go to operate from a ridge within city limits of Thousand Oaks,CA until 9:00pm until I had watched democracy in  action: the VP candidates debate.That resulted in my not working K4XSS in DM02, because he went QRT just before I got on the air. That'll teach me to minimize my operating time in a SPRINT! 
Conditions not spectacular & activity levels quite low: most stations used FM. Grids worked: CM94, DM03, DM04, DM13. A total of 10 stations worked. I didn't hear DM12 & DM14 & apparently they were not heard by other SoCal stations either.
FT857 & 9 element horiz polarized yagi.
I plan to operate in Microwave SPRINT on Saturday morning.
