The above score is from using Roverlog Calc (miles) and converting, not
precise.
I welcome a more accurate score by those able to measure in kilometres. The
log is as follows:

The excitement started when Jarred KF2MR and I were set up on time at 8 am.
The FN04 line was 500 feet north of me so I ran north to the first hilltop to
work KF2MR again. No other stations heard thus far, so drove to FN13bx at the
north edge of Lake Ontario to work KF2MR again since he had to leave at 11 am,
also got Sean VA3HD who is a local in the area and was running with fixed
loopers on 15' of mast. On to FN14ba at 600 fasl. Here, more were heard and
worked.
Peter VA3ELE took the ears off me on both bands running 20 to 40 over, had a
great path between us. Also got Dana VE3DS with path loss across Toronto
beamed east. VE3FHK was heard weak on 144, unable to work on 1296. Another
signal from north-east was later identified as Ray VE3FN in FN25. Ran to
FN04xa which has a great horizon south through east to north for more good
qso's. Then back to FN03vx to wrap it up, again working VE3HD and VA3ELE but
ran out of time trying to get a 2304 Q with Peter.
Lets get more on the air for the future Sprints.
Thanks to our sponsor Central States, and to all who participated to make this
another fun event. See you in the forthcoming Sprints.
73,
Bill VE3CRU/R
