Comments:
I again ran my usual rover route starting at Colbert Heights in EM64dq, then
operated with a mobile loop through EM54 to a brief stop at EM55va, and a final
stop at EM65aa.
Band conditions were non-existent; I had to rely on aircraft scatter for QSOs
that are normally not that difficult. Participation was also off with several
stations not getting QRV until after dark when I had to leave my EM64 site. The
mobile loop wasn't cutting it all that well without any enhancement, although it
did net me a 340-mile QSO with KU4XO from EM55. Between those two issues, I
ended up two QSOs short of my score from last year's 432 Spring Sprint.
Thanks to AG4V and KU4WW for four-grid sweeps.
