Things have been kind of hectic here, but finally got time to put down my thoughts on this year's Microwave Sprint.  This was the most active, and fun, Spring Sprint, that I've been in so far.

First stop was in EN62cc.  It was foggy during all the time I was there.  When I came off that hill, the fog lifted, so I must have really been in a very low cloud.  Conditions in most directions were about normal, for May.  There may have been some enhancement to the SW, since I was able to work K8TQK, K9MRI, and W9NU on some of the lower bands.  Also worked the usual stations on all their bands, except for missing W9SZ on 10 GHz due to poor conditions on that band.

Activity died down a little after 11:AM after making 28 Q's, so I moved to EN52xc and picked up another 13 Q's, many from K9JK/R, WB8BZk/R, and W9SZ.  After adding up all the distances from the N0UK site, my final calculation came up to 6090 points.
Things continue to be real busy at home and work, but I should be on for the June VHF Contest, and probably also for June MAD>
