N9NE:
Rig: K2 #1429 @ 5W. Antennas: Triband beam and 88 ft.
doublet at 60 feet.
Thanks to the NJQRP Club for making the fun possible!
Eighty meters was productive here in WI: wish that more
ops had been able to get on that band.
de Todd, Oshkosh, WI
---------
K5ZTY:
Elecraft K2, Force 12 C4S.
My first QRP contest in a while and it went strictly
according to Murphy's Law. Didn't do the last hour.
Seemed to be good participation and some pretty good
condtions for a change. Had fun while things were working
here though. Thanks to Ken and the rest of the NJ bunch
for putting this one on again.
de Bill, Houston, TX
---------
W5TA:
20 meters: NORCAL "Red Hot" transceiver (kit, X4), 5 Watts.
Antenna:5/8 wave ground mounted vertical.
40 meters: Kenwood TS-430S (commercial, X2)
Power: 5 watts monitored with Welz SWR/Power meter
Antenna: 1/4 wave ground mounted vertical
Did better than last year's fall sprint, but not as good as spring
sprint. Was a lot of fun anyway.
Very 72, de Dick, Round Rock, TX
----------
W0UFO:
Elecraft K-1 5W. 20m dipole, 40m zepp fed 160' wire.
Conditions were good and enjoyed working so many of
the regular qrp ops.
de Mert, Cabin in Pine County, MN
-----------
W0NTA:
Operated a K2 at 5 watts output to a temporary short G5RV
antenna up 20 feet in my backyard. I have antenna restrictions
here so I put up this antenna for the contest. It worked very
well on 20 meters but not so hot on 40. Many very strong
signals here tonight on both bands. Another fun sprint.
Thanks to the New Jersey club for organizing it.
de Dick, Greeley, CO
---------
VE3XT:
Elecraft K1 to homebrew all band vertical with 8 AA NiMH battery pack.
Good condions and good operators made for a good score.
de Bill, Thunder Bay, ONT
---------
W2JLK:
Small Wonder modified 1W. 40m Dipole up 15m.
Hamming since '59 - Homebrewing entire time!
de Jim, Matawan, NJ
---------
W5KDJ:
Good contest as long as you operated 20. 40 next to
impossible, nil sigs on 80. Met lot of the regulars and few new
folks. Good contest and looking forward to the next one. K1-4
Yagi on 20, LW on 40.
de Wayne, Spring, TX
---------
K3ESE:
Setup was a K1 at 5W into a longwire. I missed the
first half hour, while reading "The Long Winter" to my
little girls. I also missed the last half hour, as I
was falling asleep, and there were no ops out there
left unworked, it seemed. But while I was there, it
was a load of fun! Thanks to NJQRP once again!
73, 72 es oo, Lloyd, Reisterstown, Maryland
----------
N0TK:
K-1 #545 on 20 & 40 m attic dipoles.
de Dan, Highlands Ranch, CO
----------
K8DDB:
Sierra 5W, G5RV @ 37 feet and LDG Electronics Z11 Auto Tuner,
N3FJP's contest software and Dell Latitude laptop computer.
Band conditions weren't too good. 20 meters dried up early,
40 and 80 meters were noisey, but so what, I had a good time!
Thanks to the sponsors and all of the QRP gang!!
de MiKe, Vulcan, MI
----------
KW4JS:
Elecraft K2, 5W.
de John, KINGSTON, TN
-----------
K4UK:

de Don, River Edge, NJ
-----------
WA1ZCB:
Elecraft K-1 4W. 300' wire loop in 50' tree.
My first QRP contest was not what I expected. I had a lot of
contacts(22) and 18 new states to add to my W.A.S. award, and
all on 40 meters. Had a great time in the sprint. Look for
me in the next HB sprint.
de Ed, Fall River, MA
-----------
W3DP:
Elecraft K-1 5W #238, G5RV up 25'
de Dick, Camp Hill, PA
-----------9
K1KID:
Elecraft K2 @ 5 W, Antenna = Carolina Windom @ 35 ft.
What a blast. 20 Meters closed down shortly after the start
of the Sprint. 40 was up and down all evening but was in
there long enough to make contacts. 80 meters was in terrible
shape but managed to snag N9NE, the only station heard there.
Conditions were not the best but the experience under poor
conditions is invaluable. Love the Sprints, They are long enough
so that you can polish your skills without the marathon effort
required for a contest weekend! I hope every one had as much fun
as I did. See you all in the next Sprint!
72 de Carl, MA
-----------
W1PID:
Rigs DSW 40 and DSW 20
Antenna Windom OCF dipole
Many thanks for a fun event,
best, Jim, NH

KE2WB:
de John, Atlanta, GA
-----------
N2CX:
Sierra 5w.
de Joe, Bellmawr, NJ
-----------
AE4EC:
Elecraft K2,560 ft horizontal loop, gell cell power
Lots of local noise here making it difficult at time to
pull stations out of noise. Too bad I had to get up early
next morning for work or could have stayed on the air longer.
Sometimes wish test would start earlier in evening.
de Ed - Carrboro, NC
-----------
K2EKM:
HOMEBREW XCR (ROCKMITE), 250MW-1W
de Bill, Springfield, VA
-----------
N8VW:
Elecraft K2 5W.
de Pat, OH
-----------
WB7AEI:
Station: Homebrew superhet rcvr (BP fltr, NE602, xtal fltr, NE602, NE5532
audio filter & amp), Homebrew TX 1 watt VFO exciter with 5W IRF511 MOSFET
amp, homebrew SWR meter and tuner, homebrew keyer (K1EL with skin resistance
paddle), 40M full wave stealth loop with 2 sides at 6 feet and high point 17
feet.
At least conditions were better than for QRP Afield (?). Signals here were
at the "hold your breath while you copy" level. Anyone who worked several
hours of this deserves a special award for perseverance under awful
conditions! The guys above have real good ears!
Thanks for the fun, 72's
Phil WB7AEI, Kent, WA

WQ2RP:
Thanks to all for your interest and activity in the sprint.
RIGs: Elecraft K1 4w, 8 AA batteries, Portable zepp.
Good band conditions in general. It was great to QSO the
"Ususual Suspects" and several with milliwatt power.
Look for the Spring QHB Sprint on Mar 22, 2004, 0000z.
CU THERE!
