Hoot Owl Sprint

Sunday night was the QRP-ARCI's Hoot Owl Sprint. This is a 4 hour CW Sprint which lasts from 8:00 PM until midnight, local time.

I had a fun evening, operating as I was able. I didn't sit there for the entire four hours. In all, I made 40 QSOs, 34 with QRP-ARCI members and 6 non-members. I had 25 states/provinces and since I operated at 5 Watts I got a 7X power multiplier bonus. My final score was 31,850 points. I was one of only three New Jersey stations that I heard on the air. I wonder if I'll place well for New Jersey?

This event brought my QSO total for 2006 to 799 QSOs for the year so far.
