Default 432 SPRINT

First time in a long time that I had some fun being a rover in a sprint.
Since I have been diagnosed with MDS - I dragged the xyl along just in case
of an emergency. She was bored most of the time.
I was very surprised that I was able to work all of these stations with only
20w and a 2m antenna. The only drawback to the whole operation was the cost
of the petrol!
73's Hope to work you in the 50Mhz Sprint & the June contest.
I think that next time I should start off in the rarer grid first.

Call: W3CQH/R
Club: PVRC
Equip: IC706MKIIg - 20w on 432
