Had a blast working the sprint today. Saw many familiar calls and nice to
see such a good turnout. I was surprised by the lack of activity on 15M. The
band was open to many parts of the country. I could see quite a few RTTY
signals on my 756 display scope. Tried CQing a few times with limited
success. Worked a few members but the contacts dried up. Hoped that 40M
would be good for some close in mults like ID, MT and OR but didn't hear
anything. CQ'd for a few minutes but no joy there. So as expected, 20M was
the money band so that's where I spent most of my time. Many fine ops out
there and many were using straight keys.
Thanks for all the Q's and 73 to all.
