Well, I didn't get rained out in this one like I did for the 144 MHz
Sprint. There didn't seem to be a lot of participation around here, though.
Worked the usual people I can count on in the Sprints - W9GA, KC9BQA, N9LB,
K9JK/R (who gave me three grids). The only other stations I heard were
K9MRI in Indy, who I wasn't able to work, and some unknown station to the
southeast who I heard on CW but didn't get his call.

My beam was only 10 feet above ground. I was on a hill in EN50ue but the
beam was only 5 feet above my car. Maybe I should've taken one more 5 ft
mast section. It may have increased my range.

I should be on in the microwave Sprint this Saturday from EN50rl with 902
through 10368 MHz.

73, Zack W9SZ
