I started late but still had fun. Conditions were good on 20m for the first hour. I finished up on 40m with plenty of contacts but some QRN.

Rig this time out was my Kenwood TS2000 running 75 watts into my all-band dipole at about 25 feet. Key was a Vibroplex dual Iambic/Straight. Of corse I stayed on the straight side :O)

WA1AR Operated by: Alan

Almost forgot SKS tonight, figured it out just before the start. Big suprise to work Andy UU1CC right off the bat. Spent half time on 40 then 80. Mix of CQ and S&P. Also a mix of multiple calls and times with nothing at all.

CU Next time.

K4UFT Operated by: Ted

Worked K9SKC on 20 and 40, but the clock ran out and I just missed Russ on 80.

One QSO on 20, seven on 40, and two on 80.

Next door neighbor is out of town so I was able to run my 80 Meter counterpoise wire out on top of the wooden fence.

W9CC Operated by: Larry

40 Meters was in pretty good shape. The Sprint was very enjoyable. I still wish the bands would improve, but meanwhile I'm having fun.

KEØN Operated by: Eliot

My first attempt working QRP. I thought for sure no one would hear me on 40 or 80. Good operators out there! Was nice to see all the participation. I was unable to find Russ - how did I miss him ;).

Looking forward to the next one.

K4BAI Operated by: John

Got a late start due to a telephone/2M repeater interview with N0EVH in MO. Opearated 1 hour and 22 minutes. FT1000MP, Alpha 78 amp used on 20 and 80M. Barefoot on 40M where made most QSOs. 20M was open very well, 40 was great to all all areas with no skip zone. 80M was OK with some QRN. Thanks for the QSOs. Please look for me and KU8E in the FL QSO Party this weekend. We plan for 38 counties as W4AN/M. 73, John, K4BAI.

VE3AKV Operated by: Bob

Hey...the bands were great for me. I stayed on 40m for most of it, then moved to 80m for the last 15 minutes. A phone call took me out of the running...but I had fun just the same. See ya'll next month again.

QRP is where it's at - thanks for all the contacts.

20 and 40 not in bad shape. 80 was a bit noisy, but I need 80 meter QSOs.

KB4QQJ Operated by: Randy

Managed 6 QSO's in the last 20 minutes. Mother nature saw fit to dump a flu bug on me. Started with Russ's bazooka. Fine job on the club station Russ, as always you were booming. And finished with Kieth's 579 pea shooter. Great signal. Hope everybody had fun. See you in the Mystery Sprint.

K1NV Operated by: Jon

I got out to the shack a little late, but got the rig fired up on 20 meters. After pounding away for a few minutes, K3TM, Roger, came back and provided the first QSO of the sprint. 20M kind of died out after 45 minutes, so I ventured onto 40M and was fortunate to find a convenient slot to operate in for the remainder of the evening.
Signals on both 20M and 40M were pretty good from most parts of the country, but no DX was heard or worked until VA3UN, Larry, jumped in right at the end. A WY QSO was eked out with K7RXC in Casper (non-member) on 40M. Other than CA, AZ, OR, and WY, there was little else to be worked out here in the west. They were probably there, but I just didn't hear them. Some more Nevada activity would be nice, too. 73 'til next month.....

---

NT9K Operated by: Bill

The bands were ok for a change, but I wasn't and had to quit early.
Thanks to Russ for K9SKC on 2 bands. Biggest signal came from WA1BXY
at 20 over, but Russ and Cookie came close with 10 over. Sure were
alot of bugs on the air during the sprint. There was some great action
on 40 meters above 7100 too! All my contacts were on 20 and 40 meters.

Until next time, 73. Bill NT9K

NG5NG Operated by: Neil

AF2Z Operated by: Drew

I finally got on with 10 minutes left in the Sprint. Worked only 2 stations but they were a fun 2 stations. Bands were filled with noise at this QTH.

I had a great time. I only worked 20 meters. I worked ZL2BLQ and ZL2SWR in New Zealand and after the sprint I worked XE1GXG. Lots of Fun even though I had to keep the XYL happy by stopping for Dinner in the middle of it.
See you all in the next one.

KU8L Operated by: Curt

Another fun sprint. Tried 20M for first 15Min and heard absolutely nothing here. All contacts and remaining time spent on 40M. pretty steady for entire time but slowed a little at the end as I exhausted all of the S&P stations.

First event use of the Softrock IF adapter on the Drake r4a where I actually used the Softrock to do the listening.

---

K1PUB Operated by: Chas

Heard next to nothing on 20, so I worked mostly 40M then moved to 80 M. 80 was tough, QRN peaking at 10 over 9. But I had fun, as usual.

This sprint was a lot of fun! 20M was so-so but 40M was really hopping. Was pleasantly suprised when Andy UU1CC gave me a call. Thanks to Russ at K9SKC. :^)

K4OSO Operated by: Milt

Since xyl took me shopping, I got started about an hour late. Scurried up to the second floor workshop shack and spent over 45 minutes answering CQ's,... with NO results! It was as if I weren't even there! Finally, I decided to take the rig (703 Plus) to the house shack. There, I found out there was zero output on transmit!! In the waning minutes, I fired up the Mark V, throttled it back to 5 watts and managed to make contacts with Kieth (WI0S) and Gordon (N6WK). Thanks guys.
Now,... where's that rig box and packing materials?

Started late, had to find where I had stashed my straight key, sigh. You can bet it's now has it's own place on the desk. K2 with 5 watts into a Hi-Q 5/160 vertical @ 20 feet.

Russ, thanks for operating with the club call.
By luck I bumped into you on the band for at least one QSO.

Thanks to all participants.
