SOAPBOX:

N2QFD - My one and done again. This time I turned the Xeigu down to Low so 500mw out for a laugh and Tom got me. Work still gets me up at 0400 so I appreciate being able to just make a single for the event and say 72. Hope you all wrack it up tonight!

WG8Y - Hi all, Very long day.I hooked things back up after a storm come thru. Worked a few Q's and pulled the plug. 72 from N.C. Mark WG8Y

KF7Z - Good signals early, thunder storm rolled in about quarter after 01z, so had to spool it down, always a fun sprint to work, thank you for the QSOs and 72. Danny

K4KBL - Great night for an hour mostly on 20 meters. Worked KF7Z in WY an dmy buddy Chas NK8O, a first during our sprint..

NQ1B - I've been away from NAQCC for years, but wanted to come back and get some more practice sending. I do too much contesting with N1MM doing all the sending work, so the Sprint was a good practice session! 20 was in good shape; 80 was fairly quiet but no activity in the NAQCC subband; 40 was noisy so I skipped it. I miss doing QRP and hope to join more often in the future.

K3EMS - 40 sounded good here in western PA, 20 was usable. Only on for a short time but it was nice to participate again.

K3RLL - Back in FL for the 'winter' and my wet string HOA antennas. 20m was pretty good this evening and fairly well populated, which was nice to hear. 40m seemed very noisy here with not so many signals, but the many years with NAQCC continues to provide great QRP enjoyment - and worth TWICE the price! ;-) 72, ... Don

NI4U - Some decent signals on 20 & 40m tonight coming out of the NE and Midwest into VA! Had fun & hope to copy you on the next sprint. 73, Mike

KN2G - 20 was dead here. 40 started rough then opened up quite a bit. Got one on 80 before noticing I was asleep at the key.... shut down 15 minutes early. As always great fun! See you next month. 72

NF8M - Op time a bit over one hour. Fun evening with lots of activity especially on 40. Started late and 20 still open but 40 more productive even with lightning crashes off to the south. Worked old pal W8GG down in the noise - 40 doesn't do well at 60 miles or so. Gud ears OM! A bit of action on 80 but vy noisy with lightning. Enjoy summer propagation es cu next month!

W4HH - Apartment bans outdoor antennas; I operate at night with dipole draped off the sides of 3d floor balcony; wind it up when QRT. I hear just lots of signals but my 2.5 watts doesn't attract much attention!!!

N2TNN - Bands started out great and then tapered off. Made a contact on all three bands and always nice to hear familiar calls. See ya'll next month

KG5OWB - 20m was open here in STX with strong QRP sig reports. Tried 40m but it was extremely noisy which is not uncommon. Called CQ for a little over an hour from a local park. Tnx all for the QSOs and see ya next month. 73!

WA3RSR - Great fun. I got on late after 20 closed, so was all regional on 40.

KC5F - Thunderstorms finished about an hour before the Sprint, but they were still close enough to cause lots of QRN on 40m and 80m. No luck at all on 80m. But it was better than I'd expected, including having Fred, DK1VD, call on 20m and 40m. Several others on both bands, too. Lots of fun - thanks, all! - Steve

K2OID - Conditions started out just awful on 40, but improved through the evening. Special TNX to NA4O, Mark, for sticking with me to complete our QSO. Fun as always.

N4MJ - Lots of summertime QRN. 20m was fairly active in the beginning then faded out. Nothing on 80m except more QRN. 40m was the place to be after the sun went down. Thanks to the participants. 73 de n4mj//glenn

KN1H - Thanks to all for a fun Mid-Summer sprint. Tonight was equal parts 20M and 40M, 80M must be resting up for the long winter later on.

KE3V - It was a nice evening for radio. Thanks!

NX1K - Lots of static, lots of other activity on the bands, lots of fun as always.

K3JZD - All 40m. Had a high noise level and some QSB here. No storms, just noise. Used a 100hz filter to tame the noise. Thus frequently had to request callsigns again. Seemed like a nice turnout for a Summer month. Flex 660 at 5 watts and 40m Dipole. 72, Jody-K3JZD

AA2VG - I had fun as usual. I ran the KX3 tonight. 80 meters seemed dead but tnx to Dean (N2TNN) I made one contact. 72 Peter AA2VG

VE3IIM - 20 started out great..then went to sleep..a few new calls for me..always a good time...

N9JFZ - Most contacts on 20 meters, some on 40, tried 80 with no luck. 72 All

K9QEW - Started on 20m which was in good shape then QSY to 40m which had a S7 noise level. Thankfully it came down some and the band improved. Overall a good night. 72s Daryl

W4NLT - Noisy night but had fun anyway. DX on 20 was WY KF7Z. Good to work the QRP faithful. 72 TNX for the QSOs Andy

W1BRY - This is what happens when you wean yourself from using a reader

DK1VD - condx on 20m and 40m a lot of QSB Steve KC5Fdefinitely had the best ears on both Band tu was fun again but early in the morning

WB0ZJJ - W8GG Gregg: Thank you for the comeback. Conditions were terrible on my end and I could just barely hear you with my dipole in the attic. You made my night - so cool to hear MI.

AA5LH - Good to be back. 73/72. Take Care!

KA2KGP - 40 m. was the only band usable here in WNY. 20 m. was nil & 80 m. had very high QRN. Rig here was my IC-7000 at 5w. into a G5RV up 20 ft. w/ a straight key for QSO's & a memory keyer for CQ's. 73 to all.

K4KRW - We had lightning in the area.

K1IX - First sprint of the summer, good activity and condx. tnx all for Q's 73

K4KO - It's been a while since I played in an NAQCC Sprint, and I'm a little rusty. I appreciate everyone's patience.

N3CAA - Rainy evening here, so operated indoors with the FT-710 at 5w. Good conditions with less QRN than expected due to storms that passed through earlier. Good time as always, looking forward to next month. 72, Corey

WX4RM - Lots of noise on 20 and 40, had to cut it short when lightning storm rolled through.

WA2FBN - 40 meters noisy, but could hear several sigs through the noise. Xiegu X5105 @5w to EFHW ant. Vibrokeyer paddle. 72 Ken

WA1GWH - Was on between 9:00 and 9:30 EDT and there were quite a few ops. Nice to hear! For some reason I was giving out better signal reports than I was getting. Static crashes started increasing so I decided to give my ears a break and go QRT. Thanks for the contacts! 72!

K4JPN - Storms started up about 0130Z so had to call quits. 20m was hot to the East Coast for me, wait till next month. 72 Steve K4JPN

N2JJF - only had an hour to play but enjoyed it immensely.

NA1L - Static crashes, but the KX-2 dealt with it pretty well. Thanks to all for the contacts! 72

W8GG - Hello Fellow Sprinters ! Gus nite fer sprint. 20 was open for a while but skip was short. 40 was open but wicked QSB, I lost a couple of QSOs due to fade. worked Frank NF8M on 40 at close range. Nothing heard from the west coast agn this month. Did they fall off into the ocean ?? hee hee Always fun to work QRP friends old es new. See you all next month. 73 Gregg W8GG

N5GW - I forgot to hook up my straight key because I was using my old K1, trying to get it ready for the upcoming Skeeter Hunt.

AK3X - Only had 15 minutes to spend sprinting. Always something more important to do. 40 meters was in good shape. 72 to all.

WD9EGW - Enjoyed the evening. Lots of activity. 72, Chuck WD9EGW
