[NLRS] Spring VHF Sprints so far

[Duane - N9DG]

Once again conditions weren't real good to the NW from here. I heard the same folks Lloyd did and didn't do any better working any of them. Condx to the SE after 8:30 got better but still not normal good. Maybe 432 next week will be better.

Hi Charlie!

I spent a lot of the evening calling to the NW ( from the Madison, WI
area ).

Band conditions were very poor to the north, signals would rise out of the
noise for just a few seconds then abruptly drop out.  ( airplane scatter? )
Had partial QSOs with K0KFC around 8:30 and K0SIX around 8:40 but didn't
complete the exchange. Also heard you briefly a couple of times, but again
the deep QSB didn't allow a contact.  I heard other stations calling you
too.   There was some activity, just a lack of propagation.

Hopefully next time will be better.

I was on for awhile around 9:00 and called in all directions, but got no
response.  Was on again for awhile shortly after 10:00 with the same results
so I gave up.
