SPRINT Contests Fall 2022

The Fall series of SPRINT contests just finished. I was not able to attend the 144MHz segment, but managed to make couple of QSOs in the 222MHz, 432MHz and the Microwave contests. Just like I said - a "couple of" QSOs. Two in the 222MHz contests, two in the 432MHz contests and (wow), three in the Microwave contests. There was literally nobody to work. Certainly nobody local. The VHF+ activity in Saint Louis area is very low, not sure why.

I am attaching several pictures of my rover station.

AF4JF/R in EM49pa - 222MHz


AF4JF/R working N0IS from EM49pa - 222MHz



AF4JF/R from EM38px - 222MHz



AF4JF/R in EM49pa - 432MHz



AF4JF/R working WA0CNS from EM48px - 432MHz



AF4JF/R in EM48qs - 1296MHz, 2304MHz and 10GHz



AF4JF/R and Darcey in EM48qs,
just after working WA0CNS on 10GHz



Looks like a mess, but the rack worked nicely!
AF4JF/R just worked W9SZ/R on 1296MHz



New, promising location in Winghaven EM48os
AF4J/R tried to work N0OY on 1296MHz over 621km
(we both saw each other on the waterfall, but no QSO)
