Flying with the Owls

Just got finished with the Hoot Owl Sprint for 2010. I put in three out of the four hours. Goes to show you I would NEVER make a Big Gun contester! My butt just can't handle sitting in one place for that long.

Only two contacts on 20 Meters, although I did hear W0UFO and KT5E well on that band. I tried them both on the G5RV and the HF9V; but neither antenna yielded a QSO. 40 Meters was once again the "money band" with a good amount of activity around both 7.040 and 7.030 MHz. I think Hams are sometimes very slow to break their habits; and the migration to 7.030 from 7.040 is taking place slowly - but taking place just the same.

21 QSOs in 3 hours is not a great pace by any stretch of the imagination; but it's what I ended up with!
