I had a wonderful time, just too bad it was on Easter Weekend. But being that
the XYL had to work Saturday, it made out perfect that I had sometime to go and
play. Saturday wasn't too bad. Ran through some bumps and bruses though, had a
real bad ground connection on one of my coax jumpers from the amp to the
wattmeter which didn't show up until I tried to run some power on 80m that
night, boy what a headache that created. Eventually go K4BAI John on QRG with
me as I stopped and stripped back the coax shield and revealed the bad ground
connections and then using a carpet knife and a hose clamp was able to secure
it to get the rest of the county run. Thank goodness for the Junk in my Trunk,
my XYL is always saying you should take some of the crap out of the trunk and
now I see just why that crap is in my truck, you just never know!
Sunday I figured I would run the Northwest area, it seemed that during Saturday
I wasn't hearing any stations from the Northwest part of MO... Wow what fun, Hit
some rare counties and the pileups were crazy. What wonderful ops though, alot
of people were patient for my stop and goes with some of the power line QRN
(when running moblie on the fly you get power line noise bad as you approach
power sub-stations etc) but folks were great about standing by till I got away
from those areas.
It was nice to see alot of friends on the air calling as well, especially
thanks to all the friends in the County Hunters (I don't collect counties for
County Hunters, but I love putting out the counties for those folks to
collect).
MOQP was alot of fun and I'm looking forward to the next one. If I can find
someone who wants to go and run their callsign on SSB for the MOQP, TXQP, OKQP
or KSQP they are welcome to chat with me and they can run their callsign on SSB
because I DO NOT RUN SSB Sorry!
Looking forward to the next one
Thanks to everyone
