The weather was very good once the fog lifted between 8 and 9 am.
I wish the bands had been as good. The lower bands seemed OK but
the higher we went in frequency in this area, the worse things got.
10 GHz just wasn't happening. I only made one QSO on that band,
with W9ZIH. I spent quite a bit of time trying with several St. Louis
stations and with W9OBG with no luck. I worked W9SNR/R on 902
through 5760 when he was in both of his grid squares but we had no
luck on 10 GHz. 5760 was marginal.

Anyway, it was the most fun of the Spring Sprints for me so far. Now
I just have to recoved from the sunburn.
