[NLRS] Spring VHF Sprints so far

[Zack Widup]

144 MHz: 10 April 2012

I was only on for about the last 40 minutes of the Sprint. I worked 9
stations and had a claimed score of 2841 (km total). Best DX was N0AKC
in EN44.

222 MHz: 18 April 2012

I got set up on my hill at about 9:15 pm CDT (0215Z). I worked 3
stations - KB0PE, N9DG and N9LB - and had a claimed score of 935 (km
total). Best DX was N9DG.

Where was everyone in this one? I repeatedly swung my beam about 15
degrees at a time, called CQ a few times and swung the beam again.
Between 0215 and 0300Z I concentrated on the northeast-east-southeast
since it was the last hour of the Sprint for stations in that
direction. I worked the 3 stations within 15 minutes, before 0300Z.
All had decent signals here and were very copyable. I never made
another QSO after 0300Z. I occasionally heard KB0PE calling CQ but no
one else. Other than that, the band sounded dead.

I hope there are a few more on for the 432 Sprint.
