Comments:
FT1000MP, Titan, 1 KW output, TH6DXX, zepp, inverted vee. Good activity,
particularly by mobiles. 20M was short enough for QSOs in WV for almost the
entire contest period. 15M was open from GA to WV for most of the afternoon,
but only N8II/M seemed to know it. Nothing heard on 10M. 40 was quite good
for the entire contest period. 80M seemed to be OK, but with significant QRN.
No mobiles heard there. If there was 75M phone activity other than from K8JQ, I
never found it. Again, I must suggest that a specific frequency or range of
frequencies be suggested. Tuning the entire General class band on some bands
looking for a lost WV station seems senseless when most QSO parties specify
center frequencies so that in-state stations have a starting point and
out-of-state stations aren't discouraged by not knowing where to tune. Also,
it should be noted that the summary sheet is inconsistent with the rules as to
QSO point value for contacts with mobiles on phone. I think the rule should
govern and the point value in probably intended to be 2 rather than 1 as shown
on the summary sheet. Thanks to the sponsors and to all the WV stations for
QSOs, particularly the mobiles. A very FB job by all. I had to mow the lawn
and each dinner with my wife, so I missed a lot of the contest. Best WV QSO
Party ever! 73, John, K4BAI.
