--- 2nd attempt, first lost somewhere ---

  Thanks to those that looked in my direction. After a VERY slow start with only 3 QSOs in the first 2hr 45min calling on all calling frequencies and rover freqs not over the hills too far. It really looked bleak here! 

  The conditions where so so ... at times better than I expected. 50% or the QSOs were with the rovers: W0ZQ/R 11 QSOs, W9FZ/R 4 QSOs, KC0P/N0HZO/R 5 QSOs, KC0IYT/R 4 QSOs, K0MHC/R 4 QSOs and N0UK/R 1 QSO.

  The 902 and 1296 QSOs with Bruce W9FZ/R were new grids on that band for me.

  Some Observations:

  K2DRH never heard
  K2YAZ worked at the margin on 222 and nil here on 432, Bob could just hear me
  VE4MA worked on 222, 432 and 902 ... "one way" on 1296  (600w vrs 35)
  NT0V worked on 222 and 432 SSB .. nil on 902 and 1296
  VE3KRP "just" worked on 432
  K0SIX good SSB qso on 222 but nil on 432
  N0TTW good 222 SSB QSO .. never heard on 432
  KC9BQA worked on 222 and 432 on SSB .. long time since a contest QSO with Todd
  

  Totals

  222 - 17 QSOs - 12 grids
  432 - 20 QSOs - 12 grids
  902 -  8  QSOs - 6  grids
1296 -   9 QSOs - 6 grids
10Ghz-  4 QSOs - 2 grids

  58 QSOs 38 grids  TOTAL: 9918 points


  Thanks again all and long live "Weak signal UHF" ... 73  Bill  K0AWU  EN37ed
