Several ‘whispers’ were heard from stations at 250 miles to the North. I operated from 7 PM until 9PM, although no additional stations were worked after 8PM. 6QSOs were made on SSB, 6 QSOs were made on FM, & 1 on CW. Pre-Sprint e-mailings/announcements to Ventura Co. (CA) radio clubs & ACS/RACES/ARESgroups provided encouragement for the participation of the FM stations.  Post frontal weather provided very cool temperatures with clear skies, and thankfully, the winds became calm after an afternoon of 25 kt. winds. Rig: FT736 + 100 watt brick & 9 element M>2 yagi.
