AB6FO Sprint, High Power
band QSOs points
80 88 88
40 122 122
20 63 63
TOTAL 273 273 X 46 multipliers = 12,558
A personal best score, with a personal best 79 first hour. I felt
like I was really in a zone the first 90 minutes. I used two
radios for the first time in a sprint. It worked great when 40
was just opening and I could bounce between 20 and 40, but it
didn't work too well for me when 40 was about worked out and 80
wasn't in on the west coast yet. I didn't hear any mults I didn't
work, but then again I didn't work N2IC at all and he had 315 QSOs.
Highlight:
Working K6LL at 0147 and being up 5 Qs on Dave.
Lowlight:
Working K6LL at 0352 and being down 29 Qs from Dave.
Helpful Hint:
I always thought picking up multipliers in the sprint was
serendipitious, but the accomplished sprinters told me no so I
tried a strategy that worked twice for new mults. When the
station that would have the frequency was signing his call at the
end of the QSO, I put in a quick WV UP 2 and called CQ up 2. The
WV station came right back.
Questions for the accomplished sprinters:
Do you have a favorite pair of frequencies or separation for VFO
A/VFO B bouncing? Do you think it is important to move from the
edge of activity to the middle of activity?
