NE8I/r 222 Spring sprint results. 25Q's 11 grids worked. Activated 3 grids. EN74, 73, 72. set up DEMI xvtr 100W into 8 element K1FO. Route, started in EN74oa, Harrison Mi, about a half hour there. Then South on US127 to EN73. Usual stop would be EN73ou. Then to St Johns Michigan. EN72rx, half hour, then back to EN73ra half hour, then North and home. 170 miles total. While driving, I can't operate CW. Plus, can't take my eyes off the road, if I had a gps. 6 digts determmined after contest. No GPS. Old fashioned maps. Forgot to bring my key this time. Really, need full time driver. 
 
Likely same route next week for 432 sprint. 902 plus  sprint, SBMS test and 6M will likely be something different. More fuel money or cheaper gas, it would be the Lenon 4 courners, or along Lake Michigan. 
 
Was much better then the 2M sprint. Worked 2 of every 3 stations heard/called. Not one in 5 running barefoot. 100W working amp really helped.
