N4TQO Sprint

[merchant@crl.com (Steve Merchant)]

First semi-serious attempt from Carpinteria foothills <near Santa 
Barbara>, had a good time.  220 X 45 = 9900.

FT990, Alpha 76PA (500w), Force 12 C4, dipole @ 48', TR 5.61.

NCCC #1

Local SCCC Sprint'ers AC6T, N6VR, N8SR kept me hopping.  Bands were 
typically weird, 20 stayed in longer than I expected, 40 was just so-so, and 
80 was incredible.  East coast on 80 amazed me.  

Thanks to Trey for operating on no sleep.  Thanks to Tree for TR.

73, Steve  N4TQO
