Wow! Looks like I really missed some fun last night. I saw just one
post yesterday to remind me of the Sprint but was so tired I forgot
it again. :-(
I am pushing my limits to get the UHF tower up and some other
station-building projects done. It now looks like the UHF bands
won't be up and running this year but if I can get the tower and
basic infrastructure in place I will be within striking distance
when opportunity arises.

Hi all, Very interesting last night! Got on at the start and my
first contact was with N2NT in FN20 on SSB S-9!! we both said
"wow"! Conditions were definitely up with pretty severe QSB.
Worked 5 FN20 stations to the SW, Best DX was N3NGE at 463 miles!
heard AA2UK and N3RG in FM29 but no go (I'm basically QRP here)..
Best DX to North was FN46. absent in the log are a bunch of
contiguous grids.. also FN41,42,43 which are easily workable
from here..(FN43 IS contiguous). Best DX to west was probably
N2SLN in FN22. Anyway worked 16 QSO's in 9 grids in 2 hours.
worked 4 Pack Rats too! Oh yeah, this was all with 50 watts!
