[NLRS] 222 sprint 14 Q's in 8 grids

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Slow sprint tonight, not very good prop, and not too 
many on.  Gave it a solid 3-hour effort and did have 
some enjoyable Q's.

   Best DX was W0VB in EN34, KA0PQW in EN33 and 
WA8RJF in EN91.  KA0PQW took a good 5-7 minutes, 
but it wasn't like we had anything else to do.  :)  

   Worked K9JK/R in his 2 grids and also managed a couple 
of tough FM Q's with WB8BZK/R in 2 grids.

   Time of last Q here was 0223; I didn't hear anything after 
0230-35.  Called in all directions both SSB (222.100) and 
FM (223.50) for another 40 minutes, just in case.  Funny 
how one starts to hear things on a quiet dead band, LOL.  

   432 sprint is next Wed., again from 7-11pm.  

   As far as I know right now, the 144.240 (W thru N) and 
144.250 SSB nets are on for tomorrow night.  8-8:30pm for 
144.240 and 8:30 start for 144.250 Badger Contesters net.  

   For next week Wednesday's nets, (Oct. 8th) I think I'd prefer 
to do the 432 sprint.  This means someone else can step up 
and take the 144 nets, if they feel strongly about it.

   PS:  Anybody else find it curious that SVHFS (the 
sprints sponsor) does virtually nothing to promote their 
own sprints?  Never saw a post from them on VHF 
reflector, or on VHF contesting reflector, nor on the 
144 (last week) or 222 propagation logger.
