End of the VHF+ contesting season is crowned by the Fall SPRINT Contests. They took place on following days this year:
- 08/26 ... 50MHz
- 09/18 ... 144MHz
- 09/26 ... 220MHz
- 10/04 ... 432MHz
- 10/07 ... 902MHz And Up
We usually participate, but these contests are short and (with exception of the microwave part) take place in the evening. It is not exactly easy for the roving stations to set up and pack the equipment in the dark, so the number of participants is not too high. This year was no exception. No unusual contacts were made this Fall. Interesting is that we made some of the 220MHz contacts on FM using handheld radios. Following pictures document the setups:
