[NLRS] 144 sprint

[Ken Boston]

What a difference a week makes!

After a particularly slow Sept ARRL test, with about 60 QSOs on 144 during the whole weekend, a better station turnout on Monday PM put 42 Qs and 24 grids into the logbook.  I ended up doing only a little CQing, and instead arranged several skeds on the ON4KST logger.  This was done in just about 3 hours!! (7:15-10:15)  I switched to 50 meg with some time left in the sprint, because of the presence of KB8U/P in a rare grid that I need on 6.  I did not have all the WSJT stuff plugged in, so quickly configured the rigblaster, and laptop to run. So, the 'capper' for the evening was a 30 minute JT441 contact with EN86 on 50 meg!  Needless to say, I went to bed with that warm glow of accomplishment and enjoyment in my aching bones.

Again, thanks for the rovers and portable op's!!!!!!!!
