SOAPBOX:

K4KRW - Thanks everyone!

KA8HDE - Only on 20M and most QSOs were tough. Sorry if I didn't get you. Good to get on after a while. 72 de chuck ka8hde

K4KBL - All 20 meters for an hour. Did manage to work W9UG in CA! Nice signal in GA tonight. As always, a great time to enjoy CW.

NI4U - Had a fun night S&P with crazy QSB. Band were quiet then 20m came alive in VA. 40m was strong, but I wasn't getting out all that great. No luck trying to find anyone on 80m. Also had a chance to try out a python based logger that I vibe-coded for my Mac using AI. Worked like a charm! 73 & GL everyone!

N8HWV - Found the one staple regular, WB9HFK, Mark. Didn't hear anyone else cut through the s8 static/noise.

NA4O - Not good band conditions here tonight! KX3@5W, Vibroplex Straight Key.

WG8Y - Hi All. 20m was sounding pretty gud here in NC.I split my time between working on an antenna project for Field Day in the garage and playing radio on the back patio. Had my QMX 80-20 set up on the patio table hooked into A Butternut HF6V that sits in the back corner of my lot.Worked 4 stations on 20m then went back to my project. See everyone next week in the QRPp event. 72 all from N.C. Mark WG8Y

W1TM - Ontario was booming in on my old Small Wonders SW20 tonight. It was good to see how it does on a contest again. Pretty simple...pretty cool. Thanks for all others who participated.

KN1H - Had only a limited time to operate tonight, got a late start and had to finish early. Found 20M quiet and open, 40M quite short and couldn't raise anyone on 80M. As always had a fun time meeting up with everyone. 72, John, KN1H

K9QEW - All OPS on 20 meters. Band in fair sharp with some QSB. Only operated about one hour. Will try to make the QRPp event. 72 Daryl

N4MJ - Rough night...mostly 20m. Summer is here...so is the QRN. 73

NF8M - Op time 1/2 hour. Noisy here with t-storms in the area and QSB on 40.

NX1K - 20 meters was in great shape for 50 minutes. 40 meters did well even with all the static crashes.

KM3D - Only three QSOs on 20 meters; the rest on 40. Tried several times to make it go on 80 but could only just tell there were stations there. Way too much noise here. I really like using AC2C's SprintLogger - many thanks! I hope to make it back next week to find you guys again. QRPp is always a big challenge... and lots of fun! 72, Harry

KC5F - 20m was nice and quiet with lots of calls, but all eastern US except for W6UG in WA and KG5OWB in TX. After an hour I went to 40m, which was much noisier with more QSB, and less than half the QSOs as on 20m. I tried the last 20 minutes on 80m, even noisier, but no QSOs there. Let's hope the storms have passed for the mw Sprint next week! Thanks, all! - Steve

VE3DQN - Good cndx tonight. I commend especially new NAQCC member KA1YZC for his patient, clear, readable CW.

K2OID - Interesting night. Band seemed a bit dead but was able to make mani QSOs. SRI to the station that tried to contact me at 0138 UTC. Heavy QRN due to a passing storm and just couldn't pull you out of the noise. Another enjoyable sprint.

N2CN - 20m was very productive.

W4NLT - Another fun night. Half on 20M and half on 40M. Nothing heard on 80M. TNX for the QSOs. 72 Andy

K8NGW - 20m was gangbusters! Then I went to 40m and ... where did everybody go? Just a few signals. On 80m I saw a few signals on the waterfall but they were just above the noise level and not decodable. Hopefully there will be more operators for the upcoming milliwatt sprint.

KG5OWB - Been a while since participating in this event. It was a lot of fun and 20m was good here in STX. Tnx QSO's! de kg5owb

K4PQC - As you can see I got a very late start... the whole day has been this way starting with the first doctor's visit and ending with a late dinner... hi Unfortunately there is lots of noise here and I missed a couple of QSOs because the noise floors on all of the bands were above S-4 to 5. Lots of static crashes because of the number of nearby lightning storms raising the noise floors to above S-9.

K3RLL - All on 20m this evening which held up well. Couldn't get a contact on 40m. Nice short evening. 72, ... Don K3RLL

KF7Z - Hello fellow Sprinters, very noisy in Wyoming tonight, just had time for a few Qs but always fun to participate. Elecraft K3s to 20 meter dipole up 25 ft. 72 my friends. Danny

DK1VD - QSB on 40 and 20 meters. Thanks for your patience TERRY KG5OWB

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

VE3IIM - T-storms made it tough! Worked a few new ones..always fun..

W8GG - Hello Fellow Sprinters! Good to be back in Michigan agn. I fired up the FTdx 1200 at 5W to gnd mnt vert wid 16 radials laid out. 20m was open swell fer about one es a half hrs here. Signals were not as strong as last month, and skip was on the short side.Yet lot's of activity es plenty of stns to work. I had a beeline into "dixieland" with several QSOs in GA,VA,NC,TN, but not a peep from west of the Mississippi?? Nada from TX or FL either?? So condx a bit strange to say the least. Went to 40 for a few more. Vy noisy es some QSB but plenty of sigs. checked 80 at 10pm but just noise. I ran outta gas after 10pm es yanked the plug. Always fun with old friends and new. Hope to hear u all next week in the mw sprint. 73 , Gregg W8GG

KE4QZB - Hello Everyone! First Sprint for me in 7 years! Was long overdue! Had a ball, ran a Heathkit HW9, 5 watts, and an indoor 40 meter dipole fed with Ladder Line, was thrilled to get 3 QSOs, despite the noise. Will be back again soon, thanks for all the OPS that dug me out of the QRM/QRN! 72s till next time! Brian, KE4QZB

KA2KGP - Only 1 good band here was 40 m. 80 & 20 were dead here in WNY. Rig: IC-7000 at 5w. into a G5RV up 25 ft. w/ straight key for QSO's & Memory Keyer for CQ's. 73 to all.

W1BRY - Someday MAYBE more contacts!

WB8ENE - I operated for about 45 minutes this time. Started off on 20M, switched to 40M, and back to 20M for one last contact. Rig used was an Elecraft K1. Thanks for the contacts. 73, Art

AB9BZ - Tough time for me tonight, heard a few stations way down in the noise with QSB. Tried calling CQ, RBN didn't pick me up. May be time for some antenna maintenance/rebuild. 72

K3JZD - 20m for a while. Low Noise Level, Short Skip. Ideal. But not enough players to keep me there more than 30 minutes. 40m had a High Noise level, with enough static crashes to make me ask for call sign repeats. Toughed it out though. But later I was still hearing faint callsigns in the noise whenever I was trying to fall asleep !! K4 at 5 watts. 40m diplole. 107' EFRW on 20m. 72, Jody - K3JZD

KK4ITX - Lots of noise, may have found some of the problem today. Heard a few signals but couldn't make a contact. May have to go to the beach for the mW next week? Thanks for your Logs and comments, misery loves company!!

KQ1P - Plenty of S7 QRN and QSB but that is part of the fun. A treat to work some new stations as well as some that are in my log book many times.

K4JPN - Conditions were rough. 72 Steve K4JPN

WX4RM - Found plenty of signals on 20M and found plenty of noise on 40M, which is why I spent most of my time on 20M. Had fun as always, Ron.
