[NLRS] 125 cm Sprint

[aduhawk at comcast.net]

We started late, and didn't get to our desired starting point, but we did the "Chicagoland 4" grids.  We made 40 Qs with 9 different grids.  Our best DX came near the end when Marshall, W9RVG came up out of the noise for a few minutes from EM57 300ish miles (maybe it's more dramatic to say 500ish km) from Nickoll Knoll in EN62.  We made 6 FM QSOs too.

It was great to work the other 3 local rovers, NA9US, WB8BZK and K9JK.  With plans thrown to the wind, we wound up on top of the same hill (they are pretty rare around here) as Jon, K9JK.  We finally got to have an eyeball QSO with Jon, and we both heard, but couldn't complete with W0ZQ in EN34 from our spot.

We have everything in readiness for Thursday, and if we can get out of here before 5:00 PM we have a shot at a 6 grid 4 hours!
We'll start at the corner of EN50/60/61/51, spending most of our time in 50 and 60.  We'll be right on the line so we can move over and get the other grid for you right away.

We will run on 432.070, but will pop up to 432.100 to raise consciousness.  See you Thursday as K9ILT/R!
73, Tim and Pat
