For the sprint, I once again went out east of Kansas City near the grid
corner of EM28/38/39/29 which falls right outside of Odessa, MO along
I-70. For not knowing the area, I was pretty satisfied with the spots I
found to work from. Decent horizon shots and decent altitude compared
to surrounding areas.
My longest distance was working WB0YWW up in EN22UK (390km) from EM38aw.
I owe some thanks to JD (N0IRS) for helping advertise my being "out
there". That got the Western Kansas folks looking for me. Thus my QSO
count shot up compared to my 2m outing. Sadly I didn't hear anyone to
the east or south.
A quick summary... 20 total QSO's activating 4 grids and working 6
different grids overall (EM38,EM39,EM29,EM28,EM19,EN22).
QSOs by Activated Grid:
Grid QSOs Grid QSOs Grid QSOs
EM28 3 EM29 3 EM38 8
EM39 6
All in all, I had fun!
