[NLRS] 2m Sprint

[Bill Davis]

  Thanks to Dan N0URW's request for a sked, I got on for the sprint. I have worked very few sprints in the past, but enjoyed the break from the local routine.
In the end ... 13 stations worked, 11 on JT8 and 2 others on SSB. Total of 10 grids worked.  Best DX 409 miles K2DRH. Best signal AC0RA/R  +9db!! from EN32 --- Wyatt has a BOOMING signal when he looks this way.
I copied quite a few other FT8 stations that I called, but no response. I heard Vern K0VG 100 watts and 4elem yagi several times and called him several times but no answer. Surprised that my 500+ watts couldn't attract his attention. However I have a low noise location and run a low noise preamp ahead of my TS2000. Quite a few 9's well over the horizon, were copied early on but they were not looking this way.
