[NLRS] Nice 2 meter sprint! 52 Q's, 15 grids

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Subject line pretty much says it all. 

   Had good participation with plenty of SMC'ers and 
BC'ers on for this one.  Got down to EN50 via K9ZO and 
N9SS, with good S7 signals.  Prop was best, to the 
east/southeast.  Had 5 EN82's and 4 EN91's, 
with signals in the S3-S9 range.  Never got east of 
Ohio, but suspect they were busy taking advantage of 
very strong prop even east of there. 

   Very good rover participation -- swept 4 grids with 
WB8BZK/R, and K9JK/R, also worked WB9TFH/R and N9IFG/R. 
They sounded good.  Just great to hear some new rovers on! 

   Had some local activity on 146.55 and .58.  Worked 5 
Q's there, and they were newer calls to contesting/sprinting. 
Suspect I missed a few others on FM because SSB was so busy. 

   Sorry I missed KA0PQW -- heard from others who worked Matt. 
Called west/northwest a lot around 144.200-.190, but mostly 
after 10pm, when the eastern time zone stations were past 
the 11pm finish.  Oh, and KI7K was loud from EN34.  Heard 
Rich all over the place, in a good way. 

   Had a little fun at the end as W9DRN from EM59 started 
drifting in while several of us were pointed south.  He was 
light but a handful got him in the log.  Those are always fun. 

   Looking forward to 222/223 sprint next Tuesday night, the 
30th, again from 7-11pm.  Then there's 432 sprint the 
following Wed. night, October 8th, 7-11pm. 

   I should be on both 222/223 next Tuesday.
