[NLRS] K9JK/R 144 MHz Fall Sprint - WOW!

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Similar to Todd's (KC9BQA's) results...this was a best ever 144 
MHz Sprint for me (Spring OR Fall).

99 total QSOs, 49 Different Callsigns in my log, 19 total 
different Grid Squares contacted.

Even withOUT the max. of 16 Rover-to-Rover QSOs between K9GY/R 
and myself (and we did HALF of the 16 possible withOUT formally 
doing "the grid square dance" that Eric and I filled in at the 
end when activity subsided), it is 83 QSOs with 48 different 
callsigns.

K2DRH in EN41 was my farthest west (around 120 miles)...I 
*thought* I heard KA9FOX (or someone working him) but never 
linked up. To the north, it was N8LIQ (from TWO of my stops 
actually) and N8PUM in EN56 and EN66, respectively and BOTH in 
the 300 mile range. To the south, my best was N9GJC in EM68 (240 
miles). To the east, KC8QAE was 320 miles and I worked a NUMBER 
of EN82 stations (250 miles +/-). Not bad from the rover-mobile.

QSO Detail:
Grid  Qs  Ms  Grid Score
EN51  22  10  220
EN52  23  13  299
EN61  15  10  150
EN62  39  16  624

Total Score by SVHFS Fall Sprint Rover Scoring Method: 1293
By Spring Sprint Rover Scoring Method: 4851
By ARRL Rover Scoring Method: 2277

Did anyone notice the announcement for the "long tropo path" 
contact achieved between WZ1V (FN31) and N2CEI (EM80) during 
Monday's event? 965 Miles! And several east coast stations 
announcing more than 100 QSOs made during the four hours.

THANKS to ALL who were on everywhere, especially those that 
responded to my CQs or otherwise found me and thanks to the 
Southeastern VHF Society for their continued sponsorship of 
these Fall activity attractors.

Hoping for similar "enhancement" (both tropospheric AND the 
number of other stations!) to be present for next week's 222 MHz 
Fall Sprint.
