AB9BZ - Thanks for the sprint, Happy Holidays 72 ab9bz

K9KHJ - Got skunked on the 14th, so happy to bag 3 tonight before packing it in. I'll take it---and see you next time.

K1YAN - One QSO 1 minute into sprint. 45 minutes later and many CQ's still one QSO. Heard a couple signals around the noise level and then gone. Only 40M nothing heard on 80 or 20.

KD3CA - Band's very QRN here, just spent a few minutes and shut down . Merry Christmas to all . Best 73 Don

VA3NU - Little bit of QSB but conditions not too bad tonight. Fun time getting ready for Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone. 72

KM3D - Did better w/5 watts last week mostly 80m - lots of QRN there tonight. Got 5 Q's on 40 in this one with one watt using a Xeigo X108G. Hope to be running homebrew in the next MW Sprint. Many thanks for the contacts! 72 de Harry, KM3D

K3RLL - 20M: Heard stations but no joy and no RBN. 40M: Better but band was in and out down here. RBN SNR reports were dropping off as contacts were picking up. Go figure? Big mW signal heard here was N5GW. Gene always has a good signal into this part of FL but was particularly easy copy tonight despite QRM. (I need to run some coax to Gene's antenna farm there in MS.) Thanks for the fun. 72 ... Don

KJ7KDB - No luck tonight. I heard a few stations on 40m. Still fun to try. Thanks for the sprints! Merry Xmas to all. 72 de KJ7KDB Tim

K9NUD - I know of at least two that I could not pull from the noise. Sorry OM! KX3 @ 1W and a Cootie

WU6P - QRPP is always fun. Thanks for the Qs.

K4KBL - Think I will try and see how many states I can work with 1 watt, maybe 1 watt 2 way !! nice to work my friend W8GG and KB1M... Gregg on 2 bands ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all...

K9QEW - Snowbird Portable OPS from Mesa, AZ. 20m only. Band gave out early but enjoyed the mw Sprint. Heard good activity on 40m but unable to transmit. Used a 1965 modified Gotham vertical. 72/73s, Merry Christmas and STAY TUNED! Daryl

N4MJ - QSB and a long band wreaked havoc. HI In addition to what's in the log almost worked Garry, WA1GWH. We tried several times but it just didn't work out. Also, heard the following AK3X & W4JPN but couldn't get their attention. Tnx to all participants. 73 and MX de n4mj//glenn

NF8M - Listened and called CQ on 40 and 20 for about an hour total. Only heard/worked N8XMS who is about 5 miles away. Rig KX1 turned down below 1 watt.

K1IX - Pretty good condx here, quit early, too tired. Thnx for the Q's

N8HWV - I could hear so many of you but my 200 mW could only reach one; #555 KA2KGP Thanks for hearing me.

AC5XK - Thanks everyone for making an effort with just 1w!

N0DA - Thank you K7TRT, my one and only contact.

KC5F - So different than last week, but conditions seemed worse, too. None on 20m, 40% on 40m and 60% on 80m, even with the static crashes. Thanks to all - fun, as always!

KN1H - Operating portable from McDowell Mountain Regional Park near Scottsdale, AZ. Put up an inverted V doublet on a 28' MFJ telescoping mast with the ends pretty much touching the ground. Tuned well on 20 and 40 but didn't find anyone to work on 20. Used the KX-2 and KY-605U straight key. Had a great time working both new and old friends at 900mw. 73, 72, John, KN1H/7

K4KRW - We had company so I didn't get much time. 80m was it for me. Thanks everyone!

WT4U - Could have skipped most of the first hour, but suddenly 80m opened and stayed busy. Glad I stuck around. Noisy, but 1W was making contacts. Some easy, & some we had to work for. Fun evening and great ops. -Brent

K6GPB - No contacts but felt good about making the RBN on 40. Happy Holidays to all.

K1MZM - Only 2 QSO's on 40 tonight. Very few signals coming through although the band seemed to be in good shape earlier. Signals on 80 were plentiful but I seemed to have trouble getting out. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

K4JPN - Started out on 40M then switched to 80M which was great fun. 72 Steve K4JPN

K3JZD - Always enjoy the milliwatt sprints - who needs 5 watts anyway? QRN was low here tonight, which was good because most signals were pretty weak. 20m wasn't around at all. 40m seemed to dry up quickly. 80m hung in there to the end. KX3 running 900 milliwatts to wire antennas. Merry Christmas to all. 73, Jody - K3JZD

K7TRT - All my QSOs were on 40m. FT-891 into a QRPGuys Attenuator took my power down to 900mW. End fed wire at 40 ft. Soviet TKF Straight Key.Thanks for the fun mW QSOs!

WB4IT - Lots of fun tonight, thanks for the QSOs.

W4NLT - That was hard. Nothing on 20M. Only heard KD0V on 40M. Action picked up on 80M. Frustrating that many I usually work with 5w didn't hear my calls with 1W. Anyway thanks for the QSOs. 72 Andy

NQ2W - That was a blast! Fired up the K1 between 900 and 1000 mW (depending on the band) as measured by my OHR WM-2 QRP Wattmeter and went to work/play. 2 QSOs on 20m, 7 on 40, and 20 on 80. A lot of sigs were very readable...some very loud...some not so. Two-banders with WI5H (20 and 40), WD4OHD (40 and 80), and WB4IT (40 and 80). Awesome! Thanks for all the Qs and the very enjoyable evening. Happy Holidays! 72, Will, NQ2W

WG8Y - Hi all, Finally put in a full Sprint. Well, almost. had a 15 min. phone call then back at it. Only worked 2 Q's on 40M then the band was gone for me. 80M was ok but seemed to get better towards the end. Was still tuff copy at times. Tnxs all for hearing me. I missed a couple calls. Tnxs for trying guys. Ran my Ft-817 which has a 500hz CW filter, at app 850 to 900MW into 40/80 DP @ 42 ft plus an 80m loop. Hope Santa brings everyone some neat QRP gear. Hi Hi 72 from N.C. Mark WG8Y.

WD4OHD - Propagation was reasonable on 40m until about 0215 UTC, when it seemed to vanish. Fortunately, there was some activity on 80m that I could go to. Lots of noise. QRM was fairly light. mW Sprints are always a challenge, but it is nice to see how far a pipsqueak signal can go. Worked seven states tonight. Thanks to all.

AC2YD - Jumped in in the last 10 minutes, caught a couple on 80m. Using 5 watts, I'm not competing, just wanted to catch a little bit before it got away!

N4SD - Static crashes on 80 and QRN from the new gas furnace wipes out 40 :-(

WB1GYZ - Bands were surprisingly long tonight, which helped to nab my first mW 2 bander WB4IT.

NA4O - Worked none. Heard one station. Called CQ on 40m for 30 min. But I will keep trying- hope to catch someone next time around.

K8NGW - Wow - Another rough night! QRN and QSB on both 40 and 80 demanded careful listening.

N7KM - The bands were dead from the start. 20 had no propagation at all and 40 was marginal at best. I appreciated the station who hung in there for my few contacts. 30 minutes into the sprint Mother Mature pulled the plug for me so I watched a basketball game instead. I'll see you all next month. Merry Christmas and thanks to the sprint organizers.

WV3V - This was my first NAQCC, thank you for email reminder. It was difficult to say the least and I realized that one needs to go slow, rather than fast because it's QRP. I was using the KX3, 5 watts into an HF6V vertical. I heard a few calling but couldn't quite make them out. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Best 73, Jason WV3V

W2JEK - Had a good time. Used my OHR-500 at 900 MW at 900 mw.per WM2- wattmeter. key was SPEEDX straight key 72/73 DON W2JEK

KD0FNR - Just before the sprint I could KI5IG, but couldn't reach them. Then, a few minutes later, the little Rockmite was heard on the RBN on the East edge of Kansas!!! The kids and I re-suspended the antenna a bit further up and away from the house the day before, so getting our furhtest away RBN spot was exciting!

KE5YUM - 20 was open for a while and I managed two good contacts. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

WI8J - IC-705 at 1 watt. Thanks for the contacts! 72

N8XMS - I wasn't able to participate in the regular sprint this month so it was nice to have this special QRPp sprint to play in. I used a vintage Vibroplex bug and ran 900 mW from my KX3 into my HyGain AV640 vertical. Results were not great but it was still a lot of fun. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. - 73, N8XMS

KC3MIO - QSO with WB9HFK at the start on 40 and then 28 minutes until the next. I thought about packing it in, but stuck with it on 80. Last 20 minutes only heard ops I had already worked and a few who couldn't copy me. Despite the difficulty, it is always amazing how far one watt will go. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all and catch you again in 2023.

NN0SS - Poor condition this evening One QSO K9NUD tnx Steve

KK4ITX - Worked for all but the last 15minutes. Prior (8:15) RBN check had me out 1224 miles on 20m 6 hits all long by start time 20m was dead. On 40m heard VE3XT & WD9DWE but couldn't get their attention. FT-450D w/Sotabeams Milliwatter. I'll try more often at mW levels.

W8GG - Hello Fellow Sprinters ! I fired up the K2 at a mighty 900mw and let er rip. Not the best propagation that we ever had, but not the worst either. 20 was barren abt 1hr before start so i started on 40. 40 was gud here for 3 QSOs to the south GA, MS, and TN. Then band just folded. Again NOTHING heard west of the Mississippi river. Went to 80 were most of the activity was. Most sigs were just above the noise but readable. Thanks to a few of you for hanging in there for the info. Worked K4KBL for the only 2-fer. Heard but did not work NA4O, AF5BA, es W4NLT. Got 11 more QSOs on 80 before i called it quits at abt 945 PM Alway fun to see what can be done with a peanut whistle and a bit of wire. Hope you all hv a merry Christmas, and see you next year. 73 Gregg W8GG

W8PU - I only was able to operate for a short time but wanted to at least hand out a few contacts for others.

KA8VZB - Ten-Tec Argosy @ 500mW to end fed wire at 20ft. Only on 40m for first half hour but not much heard here in VA. Thanks to WB4IT for my single QSO.

AA5LH - Extremely hard night hearing anyone. Spent an hour practicing my CQ's but nothing received on either 40M/80M. My signal was getting out according to RBN but nothing. Still enjoy the quest and see everyone next month. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

WB9HFK - 40M was good for about the first 1/2 hour - then, things went dead. Thanks for the QRPp fun! Happy Holidays to all! 72, Mark WB9HFK

WA1GWH - Conditions on 40m similar to last week for the regular sprint. Weak sigs, QSB and not many stations. I was using my SW-40+ at 900mW. K4KBL had a consistently strong sig up here near Syracuse, NY. I tuned past him many times looking for contacts. N4MJ, sorry we could not make a go of it. QSB the first time and then later QRM followed by QSB. Thanks for trying and thanks to all for squinting with your ears! 72 and Happy Holidays!

KB1M - KX3 at 500mW. Very little heard on 40, and no answers to CQ's, still a fun evening, MW sprints are always my favorite. Pounding key harder had no effect on reception. 72 Walt

N5GW - Started out on 40M which had developed some new background noise; that is until I unplugged a cell phone charger and turned off the Christmal lights! Signals were mostly weak, the expected finding. 80M was in better shape, but I only lasted for the first hour.

KA2KGP - Had Fun this mW Sprint. Snagged N8HWV's 200 mW peanut whistle at 559 here in WNY. Only 1 QSO on 40m, 80m. was the band to use. Rig: IC-7000 at 1 w. into G5RV up 25 ft. w/ old WWII German Junkers Straight Key. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all. 73

KQ1P - Skunked! I did copy one weak K5 station but no QSO when I called back.

AK3X - Started on 40 30 minutes late. One QSO and a failed contact with N4MJ. He was 559 when I called but dropped into the noise never to be heard again. Called away and made it back for the last 15 minutes. 80 was more stable.

KQ3Z - 80 was the only band with any activity at my location. I Didn't hear any NAQCC members but worked SKCC members that could hear me. In fact there was a lot of them on the band but I didn't see that they had a contest on tonight. My station was KX3 at 1 watt with a doublet at 60 feet.

N8LA - KX-3, 900mW, 200' Dipole @ 35', NAQCCode Warrior with W8GG finger pieces wired as dual paddle side swiper by AD0BI. Called CQ but could not pull anyone out of noise so returned K5LG CQ and KC5GVC CQ and had 27-minute QSO and 17-minute QSO. Called CQ again and finally was able to work WT4U. The lower the power, the greater the fun!! Best wishes to all celebrating holidays and to any not celebrating holidays. Lou, N8LA/QRPp
