Worked four new Ø7Ø numbers! All participants operating clean signals and polite, as usual. I have to get a 160M antenna! |

WA4EEZ |
Enjoyed this one.. wish I could have stayed in the whole time. |

Attached is my log for the Valentine Sprint. Roy won't be sending in a log because I had him locked in the basement. Hi! |

Great time, the bands were a challenge! Need to get a 160M antenna. |

This is my first event with Ø7Ø and I had a blast. I do wonder why there were no Canadian stations on the band. I generally get them first try and the bands seemed to be in good shape. Almost everyone operated sprint style and had the exchange down pretty tight. Seems like a good bunch of operators. I really had hoped to pick up one of my missing states. Perhaps the station from MN will eQSL.cc. It remains to be seen! I had 14 out of 39 contacts in eQSL.cc when I finished the sprint. |

Worked a few members on 40M before my 8PM start. By 8PM Mountain Time 40M was dead. 80M was good, but boy 50W sure limits my contacts. I tried 160M, but again, 50W here in the black hole of MT isn't enough. Still picked up 4 LONP members and am closing in on 200. |

Had to use a 20 meter dipole fed with coax for 40 and 80 meters. I was surprised to be able to make any contacts. Neat contest. |

N7GVV |
My heart just wasn't in it! Only operated about 3 hours. |

I expected to do much better since I had about 1.5 hours after getting home from work and I figured all of the mid-West would be on, it was only 2330 there. Talk about frustrating. I could see signals come and go but rarely long enough to make a contact. I CQed on 160M for 32 minutes and got nothing! I answered two 160M CQs and was not seen by them. I still don't have a 160M contact. I guess the conditions just were not favorable enough for a 20M dipole to get anywhere. I also saw two Canadian stations but could never link up there either. All in all a very unsatisfactory night. But still fun ... how do I explain that? I guess an activity that you like and an interesting time together make it a fun time. |

Do I get a bonus for my score being 88? |

KB6NU |
This is the first PSK contest I've ever worked. It was fun. |

Fun contest. |
