-----------------------OPERATOR COMMENTS---------------
N9NE:
  I had quite a day. Up at 2:30 am to drive to neighboring city for
6 am running of 26.2 mile marathon. Dragged across finish line at
11:16 am. (no 2:04 ET for this 61 year-old!). Home to nap and
partially recuperate. Up at 5:30 pm to eat and get rig and computer
set up for the sprint. Four hours of fun, and finally to bed at
midnight.
 Rig is K2 @ 5 watts to quad-band beam and 176' doublet. High
points: working John, K4BAI, on three bands, and Dean, KH6B on 40
meters.
Nice to work some new calls/faces as well as the regular QRP crowd!

de Todd, Oshkosh, WI
---------
N4BP:
Rig : Elecraft K2
Antennas : 40M Dipole @ 35ft
 All antennas taken down for Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, etc.  
Put back up my 40M dipole for the Sprint.  20M usually my best
band, but dipole performance not very good there.
de Bob, Plantation, FL
---------
K3ESE:
   Setup: multiPIG+ at 5W into an 88' EDZ up 45', on
20M, and a 302' horizontal loop on all three bands, up
about 50', both fed with balanced line and tuned with
a ZM-2.
 Very fun event, but...long! Very tired at the
end, about to doze. I've seen better conditions, and
also worse, so it was not too bad, skip-wise. Nice to
work Ken, at the Mothership!
 72 es oo, Lloyd, Reisterstown, Maryland
----------
K4BAI:
Rig: Yaesu FT1000MP, 4W. Ant: TH6DXX Beam & Inverted V dipole.
I enjoyed it even though I don't have any homebrew gear.  
QRN built toward the end and activity dropped, so I didn't
stay for the last 45 minutes, hi.
73 de John, Columbus, GA
---------
K7TQ:
de Randy,  Moscow, ID
---------
K0ZK:
  I operated from home QTH using indoor 20 metre dipole on 20
and 40 metres.  Elecraft K2 s/n 692. Condx poor until last hour,
but did work KH6B on 20 which was nice.
72 de Arn, Lebanon, ME
---------
W5KDJ:
K1-4 at 249MW, ANTENNA(S): Mosley 7 element.
Bands open to the west, worked KH6B.  Had good time but I was to tired
to complete entire contest.
de Wayne, Spring, TX
---------
AD6GI:
Rig: Elecraft K2, 5 watts
Antennas: 15M, 40M and 80M  -  40M short dipole up 40 feet
          20M  -  Dipole up 25 feet
Nice cndx for test. Gud openings to east coast. Tnx to all for great
ears and ur patience with me. Looking forward to the next one.
73, Chuck, Sunnyvale, CA
---------
W0UFO:
  Used K-1 at 5W to  20M dipole and 40M tuner to 180ft wire.
from cabin at Pine County MN.
Thanks for another good Sprint.
de Mert, Pine County MN
---------
K8DDB:
Rig: Sierra, POWER OUTPUT 5 watts
ANTENNA(S): G5RV at 37 feet
  I had a good time in the contest and worked a new state for 80
meters W.A.S. as a bonus. I'd forgotten how much fun my Sierra is!
de Mike, Vulcan, MI
---------
WA8REI:
  Operated out in the wilderness on a hilltop using battery
power, but inside my 21 ft motor home.  Lots of fun but not
many stations heard in call districts 1, 3, 6 and 7.
W5KDJ's 250MW was FB!  
73,72 and oink-oink to all!
Ken, Ogemaw County, MI
--------
KB2FEL:
HW-9 (20-40-80M) 4 Watts.
4BTV vertical and G5RV
de Bob, Valley Stream, NY
--------
WA3FAE:
My rig is an Elecraft KX1 using a 88 foot EDZ at 35 feet with
an LDG RT-11 tuner.  I forgot this was Contest night!  It's
very enjoyable to work fellow QRPers. Everybody works hard to
dig weak stations out of the mud, seeings how we are all in the
same mud pit!  Can't wait for next year.
de Forrest, Woodbine, MD
---------
NJ0E:
Rig: ten-tec t-kit 1320 (3W)for 20m,
and a small wonder labs sw40+ (2W)for 40m.
The antenna was an 80m horizontal loop.  I
was still pooped from my QRP entry in the Texas QSO
Party. Many thanks for sponsoring a fun event!
73, Scott, Dripping Springs, Texas

KD5UDB:
Hello all,
Had a great time as usual. I decided to try this Sprint at 1 watt
and found that although I had to repeat a few exchanges, everyone
I heard, I worked!. Lloyd - K3ESE and  Bob - N4BP were "blowing my
headphones off"  loud into S. Louisiana as usual, and worked them
both on 20 and 40 meters.  Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
My rig was a K1 on internal batteries and turned down to 1 watt.
The antenna was my usual 20 and 40 meter fan dipole installed about
20 feet high over the roof of the house.
de Chris, Baton Rouge, LA
-----------
N9LTV:
  Rig: K-1, PSK20 & Dipoles
Worked only 20 and 40.  A fun contest!  Wish I would have
worked the entire time.  Worked 2 PSK stations on 20 but
they weren't in the contest.  Wish there were more.
de Rod, Carterville, IL
-----------
N7CEE:
Rig: Elecraft K-2 @ 5W.
Antennas: 170 foot 80 foot end fed wires with 66' counterpoise.
  I operated from the Pine Forest Range in NW Nevada during a
photo shoot for a book project.
72 de Bruce
-----------
KH6B:
Rig: K-2, internal battery, NORCAL paddles, RS PRO-35 headphones.
Antenna: 284' sloping Diamond Loop.
  Nice sprint.  Worked 'ME' to 'CA' and 'WA' to 'GA'.
I even have 'HI' in my log!
72, Aloha de Dean, Hilo, HI
----------
VE7NI:
Rig is Ten Tec 1340 QRP kit with 5 watts output power.
Antenna is a 40M inverted vee 40' at the apex.
Great fun with QRP as usual and lots of good operators!  
de John, Kamloops, BC
---------
K4AQ:
Yaesu FT-897 transceiver operated at 5 watts into an OCF 28-gauge
insulated wire stealth antenna up 40 feet in heavy foliage trees
next to I-75 in downtown Atlanta industrial area. SGC SG-237
Smartuner. WriteLog 10.48f.
de Matt, Atlanta, GA
---------
KE2WB:
Rig: K2
Operating Time =    1.2 hours
Also used a homebrewed logging program
de John, Augusta, GA
---------
WB7AEI:
Same equipment as usual (HB superhet RX, 1W VFO TX, and all
HB accessories) less the 5 watt power amp.  Must say I was
pleased at how the 1 watt got out, especially with the EFHWA
antenna up 17 feet at the highest.  The band seemed good
actually, although signals weren't strong.  Worked more than
ever before, although some like N4BP just weren't possible.
Highlight was hooking up with WQ2RP, although it must have
taken 5 minutes and 50 repeats of my call to get thru.
Thanks for the fun!
72's, Phil, Kent, WA
-----------
W0OOW:
Rig: SWL20 POWER OUTPUT 1W.
ANTENNA(S): 3/2 WAVE
Stuck on 20 gggrrrrrrrrr
de Steve, Johnson NE
-----------
WB9JTK:
Elecraft KX1, kit.... 3 watt output. Second hurricane went
by Saturday.  Antenna was a dipole 13 feet in the air in
the middle and 5 feet on the ends.  Ran rig from a car battery.
Glad it had a "logging light" in it!  I ordered it right after
hurricane Frances.  When electricty came back on I built it
and had some fun.  Then the next hurricane came by.  No damage
to the house, but no electricity so I was sure glad I had this
rig since there was nothing else to do for many days.
73 de Alan, Delray Beach, FL
----------
W1PID:
Rig: DSW 40 2W. Antenna: Windom OCF Dipole
Thanks!
de Jim, Sanbornton, NH
----------
WQ2RP: (N2CQ opr)
Many thanks for your interest and activity in the Homebrewer Sprint.
The rig here is the K1-4 at 5 watts on 20m and 40m and a Kenwood
TS-850sat for 80m.  The antenna is a random end fed wire (40m-80m)
and TA33jr tribander (20m).  
Hope to see you again in the next NJ QRP Homebrewer Sprint on
Mar 28, 2005 0000z
