[NLRS] 50 MHz Sprint tonight

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

A little bit better results around "more populated" Chicago (or the near 
northwest suburban area thereof, where EN51, EN52, EN61, EN62 
"meet")...there were a BUNCH of "locals" who got on, as well as another 
rover. Totally covered those "local 4" grid squares and "stretched" to EN41 
(which required CW), EN53 (a coupla stations there and FROM all 4 with N9DG) 
and EN63. THANKS to everyone who was on. More details once I count 
everything up...pretty sure I topped 40 QSOs (but that's spread over the 4 
grid squares through which I roved) might even be near 50 QSOs. Not "great" 
but not bad for a Sprint with "flat" conditions.

World Series on the tube, and Sweetest Day as well...lots of competition for 
radio operating.

73, JK

Sure didn't think there were that many people in that grid, much less
hams. ;<)

I've doubled my score, woke up N9DG with a CW CQ. Now if I can work 300
miles east or west, I ought to be able to work many stations closer, if
they had their radios turned on. That appears to be the big problem.
Too much football or baseball on the tube.
