Comments:
I got a late start because I failed to realize that the 50 MHz Sprint starts at
2300Z, not 7 p.m. local time like the other Sprints. Rather than starting from
Woodall Mountain in EM54 as planned, my first few QSOs were made in motion from
EM64. I got set up on Woodall right around 0000Z and enjoyed working the strong
opening to the southwest, although as loud as signals were, I wish more people
had gotten on SSB or CW rather than FT8. It would have been much more
productive. I then operated in motion with brief stops in EM55 and EM65. I got
back to EM64 about 10 minutes before the contest ended and added a couple more
QSOs.
For those who operate FT8 in VHF contests and mostly call CQ, *please* give
rovers a call when you see them on. It's difficult -- not to mention dangerous
-- to try to "search and pounce" from the available callers when
operating in motion, but answering callers with "Call 1st" and autoseq
enabled is much easier for a mobile. So, please do us a favor and call us!
