Had a good time in the 432 Sprint. Signals seemed below average at times and above average at other times. Typical sprintime condx. K4QI in FM06 in particular was quite loud throughout. Worked most o
Enjoyed the chance to get on for about 1 hour 45 minutes last night in the sprint. Activity was so-so and condx seemed to be a little below average based on signal strengths and regularly checking th
Enjoyed getting on for a while in the sprint. Good to dust the cobwebs off the equipment, hi! Hi winds and cold temps meant lot's of line noise and not cranking up the tower to be safe. Despite the w
45 qso's in 25 grids from FN31jh. Sigs seemed down - not surprising given it was absolutely pouring rain throughout. Beacons were way down here for the first 2 hours I operated. Came back later and p
60 qso's in 20 grids. Poor condx last night in FN31 - everyone seemed way down in signal strength. Activity didn't seem all that great either but that may just have been that condx were so poor. Best
Fun as always to get on in the microwave sprint. Activity seemed pretty good as I was almost always busy during my stints on the air. However, the only other station in all of New England I worked wa
After having the good fortune of no real equipment problems in the June contest, Murphy made his appearance at my QTH for the UHF test. Feedline problems on 1296 (3:1 swr) and a rx problem on 432 mad
Good activity and condx for the 2M sprint last night. First time in a long I can remember any real enhancement in a sprint. W4GRW in EM96 was 20 over 9 much of the time I was on. Likewise WA4PGI in F
Managed 62 qso's and 24 grids in the sprint last night. I was mainly on for short stints so never got a good feel for the band. Condx seemed down in some directions as the stations worked were very w
Nice to get on for the 2M sprint last night. Condx and activity seemed o.k. but nothing special. I heard one cw station on AU but nothing worked on Au from my QTH. Total was 132 qso's in 28 grids. Lo
Fun time in the 222 sprint last night. Activity seemed decent even if condx did not (beacons were below normal levels here). Anyway, total was 55 qso's in 25 grids. Congrats to W3IY on a FB job from
Total for the sprint was 72 qso's in 27 grids. With the warm wx - first 80+ deg day of the year - had hoped for some enhancement but condx seemed below avg for most of the time I was on based on the
Lot's of fun while I was on in the sprint today. Good activity which made up for the poor condx. As has become the theme for the 2005 spring sprints the wx was poor with strong winds which meant keep
After being limited to 10 minutes operating in the 2M sprint was able to get on for about 2.5 hours last night on 222. I thought condx were average until about 9:30 local time when things seemed to r
