My first weekday SKS in a very long time. Worked 40m only and there were alot of signals.
N1LU Operated by: Don
Was off the air for a month while on a road trip with little chance to play radio, so the sprint was a great chance to get the fingers going again and try to remember what all the buttons are for. 20m died early for me. Lots of action on 40 with QRN and made one on 80 at the end. Sorry I missed the SKCC station.
WA1AR Operated by: Alan
Started on 20M and a bit slow. 40M was better and spent abt an hour. Got almost as many on 80M in half the time. Good to hear a lot of familiar calls.
Used a FT450 and 1941 blue racer on 20 and 40. Switched to a TS440S and 1925 bug for 80M. See Ya next time.
Alan
WA2JSG Operated by: Curt
Got a great start... my 1st contact was George K9SKC on 40m, and all went well until I came across my friend Drew AF2Z. During our contact, my key came apart! He was probably thinking I had too many cold frosties! Anyway, we got through it OK. Nice sprint, as always.
Rig Kenwood TS440SAT 75w into vertical.
WA3ZBJ Operated by: Don
First SKCC Sprint in a long time and slept through first half, but it was great.
Lots of good signals and very patient ops out there on 40 tonight.
It was a good workout for just-completed K2. 72/73 ... Don
KC2EGL Operated by: Michael
How can you have more fun on a Tuesday night when you are pounding brass with a bunch of friends. Had a blast. Thanks to all who came back to my QRP 5W. Rig K-2 (qrp) Key SKCC Club Key # 61.
CU next month during SKS.

AB1BW Operated by: George
Band conditions turned out to be pretty good for this sprint. I starter out on 20 then went to 40 and finished on 80 meters. Worked a lot of new numbers which was nice to see. Hope we get some sunspots soon. See you next month.
73, George
KØLUW Operated by: Russ
20 meters seemed almost dead from my QTH. 40 meters was pretty good and 80 meters was very noisey because of a storm in my area. Always a lot of fun.
NG7Z Operated by: Paul
Well that was a blast! 20M closed up early on, about 30 minutes into it. Came down to 40M and found the band jammed with signals but got very poor results until 0100Z. It's still pretty light on the west coast. Didn't really get busy until 0115Z when I found a hole to start calling CQ and then things were quite busy right up until the end. A personal best qso count in this event but didn't get as many mults as I would have liked. Still, this is the best two hours of ham radio in my book. Great ops. See you in the next WES. 73 Paul NG7Z
KØKEX Operated by: Rick
So many signals, so little time..good to hear everyone tonight. George I must have zigged when you zagged..I could not find you..I did work KA2KGP on 80M.

K9PL Operated by: Philip
Much activity on 20-, 40- and 80-meters. Many strong signals despite QRN and QSB.
WA1VIL Operated by: Greg
Fun as always. Bands sounded very noisy at this QTH-sorry to be hearing 20 meters go out so soon! There seemed to be a lot of clear space around 7.114 so check it out next SKS instead of slogging it out down at 7.055! 73 to all!
NØTA Operated by: John
Started on 20m, but not much activity. Wound up camping on 7.052 most of the evening. 40m seemed pretty active with many strong signals. Thanks for the QSO's. K3, vertical, and K2RFP logging software.
K8JD Operated by: John
This SKS was quite busy on 80 and 40, tried a few CQs on 160 but no luck there.
There seemed to be a long ragchew on 14050 every time I checked that band, so no luck there. Heard a few new calls and some familiar ones but no George anywhere.
K5ENA Operated by: John
Contacts on 80, 40, and 20. Always enjoy our Sprints.
John, K5ENA
W6SQQ Operated by: Al
Managed a full hour this time. Started on 20, big gun was Bert, W5ZR. Moved to 40 where NG7Z, Paul, was burning up the band. Wish I could have worked the whole sprint. Conditions were very good, noise was low, and it don't get much better than this. Thanks to everybody who participated.
Al, W6SQQ
WA5VQM Operated by: Mark
A lot of fun as I ended up in a nice ragchew with a fellow boatanchor enthusiast, kept the score down but was worth it. Apologies to W7GVE: the band just folded up in the middle of our exchange (so I didn't count it). The old HT-37 started getting pretty drifty on 40 so I shut down early. Lots of strong signals on 40. 73, Mark
NT9K Operated by: Bill
Nice SKS tonight, I had lots of fun. I started out on 20 meters for the 1st hour with decent results, then moved to 40 meters and finished the sprint. I got to work several new members and some c's and t's that I needed too. I heard some great fists and the biggest signal goes to Bert W5ZR with 40 over S9. I never did hear George, sorry I missed you OM. Equipment tonight was Kenwood TS-870 @ 100w into MA5B and full wave delta loop for 40 meters. This was the first sprint ever, that I only used 1 key. Until next time, 73. Bill NT9K..
I only used my GHD bug tonight. I call this one Betty.
AB8FJ Operated by: Ted
40 meters was in great shape this evening. Used my Ten-Tec Argonaut II at 5W to the random wire antenna. Key used was my Bencher RJ-2.
N5LUL Operated by: Brad
20M for the 1st hour, 40M for the 2nd. Seemed to work pretty well that way. Hope to do better next month. Had a GREAT time as it was. Rig tonight: Yaesu FT-920 and Winslow key, Mosley TH-33jr at 40' on 20m and dipole for 40M at 30'. Will be back next month!
W5ZR Operated by: Bert
Conditions seemed much improvrd tonight. Worked 20 meters for the first hour, then moved to 40 meters for the seconmd hour, and made twice as many qsos on 40.
Thanks to all who worked me.
NS2X Operated by: Greg
Band was in good condition in Tennessee. Receive a 599+10 from Bert in LA and at 'beautiful signal' from K8MXC in MI, with my 3 watts and 160m Horiz Loop. Pounding the straight key sure tires my wrist out. Thanks to all who pulled me out of the QRN.. 73.. Greg NS2x
VE5CUL Operated by: Brian
Before supper I just thought I'd listen on 20 and heard someone calling CQ SKS.
They quickly vanished with the QSB so I switched to 40 and made a couple of
contacts with old friends. I then marked the dates on the calendar for the fall
so I won't forget next time. It's supposed to be 80F to-morrow so I am taking the canoe to the lake. I look forward to catching up with more of you later -
especially when the snow flies. That is always earlier than we are ready for.
73-Brian - VE5CUL
S52CC Operated by: Vince
Heard 6, worked 2 members, very early morning fun nevertheless.
Thanks Jon, K1NV/1 and Tom, K4ZGB. 73 to all - Vince, S52CC
WL7WH Operated by: Bob
Started off good until the JA contest took over. Another good event!!
K6FFY Operated by: Nick
At my location 40 meters seemed to come alive with straight key CW.
Unfortunately, it was near the end of the sprint.
KA2KGP Operated by: Tom
Another nice SKCC Sprint. The bands were pretty good here in WNY, even 20M. produced 5 QSO's! Rig: IC7000 at 25 w. into all band dipole up 25 ft. Straight key, of course. See you next sprint. 73
KQ1P Operated by: John
Conditions were quite good on 40m and there was plenty of activity. I later moved down to 80m and QRN was a problem. Thanks to all who were able to copy me and to those who tried but couldn't quite pull me in. 73, John
N9GGE Operated by: John
Glad to see the solar flux going up a little and getting dark sooner. 40m was pretty good for a change. Dennis W6UT, heard you once but couldn't find you again.
AF2Z Operated by: Drew
The first hour was kind of slow. Not much action on 20m, which is typical here. Spent almost all of the second hour on 80m. Had a run of about ten stations there-- very nice for a change. SKCCers were really lighting up the band! Worked Tom K4ZGB on 20/40/80... Caught George K9SKC hiding out around 7058 KHz... Curt WA2JSG had a few too many cold frosties by the sound of it (hahah! I figured something went haywire on you, Curt...) My rig: Elecraft K3 @ 12 watts, 100' wire up 30', Junker straight key.
KE5YUM Operated by: Terry
This was my best sprint ever. I worked 20 and 40 meters, and all my 40 meter QSOs were QRP. It was a pleasure to work NG7Z on each band in addition to working KB3HBD QRP. Two new states for me. Thanks guys.
KU8L Operated by: Curt
After wasting alot of time on 20M last time, I resolved to try an entire sprint on 40. don't have a very functional antenna for 80 so it kind of made sense. Also tried to stay put and run as long as it was productive. Seems the conx on 40 were not optimal except in a narrow range of geography last evening so I was called by several stations that I could not pull out of the noise--which is unusual for the old Drake R-4a. Generally I can copy anything I can detect is there--especially in NA.
It was slow but steady for most of the two hours. I think being able to switch to 80 after 40 was "used up" has the potential to double my QSO count so I must hurry up with the permanent 80M loop.
As usual it was a lot of fun--even q'd a couple of SKCC members that didn't know about the sprint. Also one non-member.
Curt
K1PUB Operated by: Chas
Forgot it was sprint night until about 0030. Got on "just to work a couple of stations" and of course didn't stop until 0200. A few QSOs on 20 and 40 M but spent the last hour on 80M which was pretty good despite QRN. Fun as usual.
WA9VEE Operated by: Wa9vee
80 dead as a doornail, 40 unproductive right in the middle of contest, then came back nicely. Great time as usual.
WA9ZES Operated by: Walt
Thanks to all! The bands seemed to be much better for this SKS - Ten-Tec Omni-c, 60 watts, G5RV and J-38 - Fun as always - 73, Walt
K1NV/1 Operated by: Jon
It was interesting to experience the sprint from northeastern New England. You east coasters definitely have some advantages on 80 and 40 meters for a short sprint like this. I was pleased to hear and work S52CC (#5011) and DF1PH (#4066) on 40 meters. In fact, I never had to go anywhere but 40 meters for the entire sprint due to the excellent activity level.
The ICOM IC-728 is not a top notch CW transceiver, but it did a pretty good job through the QRM and QRN. A 135-foot open-wire fed dipole at 50 feet helped a bit.
Now it's back home to Nevada and tougher conditions for DX. Thanks to all!
K9SKC Operated by: George
Had fun !!! Thanks for allowing me to use the club call !! Called CQ steady on 40 meters on 7059 plus or minus 5 KC and used 50 watts for the whole thing. Had to leave at 01:30 to pick up my son at collage just when things were getting hot again .... :( 20 was no go and 80 didnt seem to good either. Could have used more power but thats all I got. Used my Annie Bug !! Nicest Bug I've had yet !! Thanks all !!!!
NØUMP Operated by: Bill
It was pretty noisy but I had a great time. Lots of very nice people in the SKCC group. Tnx Bill
KD6HTN Operated by: Kate
Well, it is getting a little easier. This was my first attempt to use a (very heavily weighted) bug on the air. It's actually easier for my to keep a somewhat smooth rhythm than with my straight key. I had a goal of doubling the number of QSO's from the WES (where I got 1), but I got called away during the middle of the sprint & also had to stop early due to scheduling. Next time!
W3RT Operated by: Red
Only able to work the last 16 minutes of this month's SKS. Signals were up there, little noise, and lots of stations on. Wish I'd been on for the whole Sprint.
Kept the power lower- around 50 watts from the '940s. Used just about all my keys that were hooked up, even the new sideswiper!
Thanks to those that I did work. Hope to see more in my log the next time.
73, Red, W3RT- SKCC #3237T in PA.
N8BB Operated by: Werner
Had allot of fun but seemed pretty low activity. Must have been poor band conditions. Thanks to all that worked my qrp station. Looking forward tyo the next sprint/wes. Werner

All 40 meters. Worked from Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Wanted to see the Park again before the closure due to budget cuts. How shortsighted of the politicos in California.
