Comments:
Tremendous contest! Conditions down somewhat from last year but still excellent
compared to many memories from the Black Hole.
Can you imagine what fun it would be for Florida fixed stations if we got credit
for Florida Counties... but in the FQP's wisdom they realized the pileups would
be unbearable for our Florida mobile stations. I heard some pileups so massive
during this year's FQP that I was convinced it must be a rare dx-pedition only
to find out it was a FL mobile! (I have never heard pileups like that before
during a QSO Party). So hat's off to our fine mobile ops for an outstanding
effort!
A bit of a surprise... for this year's FQP my best antenna for both Stateside
and DX was a vertical mounted in saltwater. In the past, a Yagi usually
outperformed the vertical on most Stateside Q's.
Thanks FQP for a fun weekend.
73's to all,
Dick- K9OM (Operating NO4S during FQP)
