[NLRS] 6M sprint rover report KF0Q/R

[kf0q@arrl.net]

Sprint was very different this year with mostly AU propagation which 
made things really interesting at times.  As the band would change so 
would the stations worked from grid to grid.  In spite of the rain 
and hot/cold band condx I operated from 4 grids (got sweeps with at 
least 4 stations: KM0T, N0AKC, KA0PQW, and KB9TLV) and operated 
pretty much on schedule.  I put the rover together in record time 
(<1.5 hours) which was great (love the one band setup..).  Lowest 
productive grid for me was EN44 (10qso X 7 mults) .. best was EN33 
with 17qso X 14mults.

Highlights:
Working N0PB from 2 grids.
Hearing and working Peter, VE3AX from EN44.
Working W0AMT/R from 2 grids .. many tnx Jon!  Really appreciate 
another rover out there  - I know what a pain it can be out in the 
rain..

Other comments:
Even with the AU contest was pretty "local" for 50MHz.  Sorry I 
missed Gene, N0DQS/R too.  A few stations had some pretty big 
signals.. KM0T, W9JN loudest here. 
I know a few folks must have been checking out 144 as well .. band 
got a bit quiet around 0200Z .. I would have done the same if I was 
home  - hi.  Looking forward to June contest.. I will be at the farm 
again on the ridge in EN43dw as last year.  Thanks again for the 
qso's.

Total claimed score:
KF0Q/R EN33,34,43,44
51 qso X 39 grids  = 1,989 points (ol' fashioned rover scoring)
