2011 Georgia QSO Party,
We are writting this as we are leaving the mountains of Georgia, via route
136 to 59, on our way home to middle TN.
Our goal was to travel through 58 counties in Georgia, and we almost made
it, with 57, we missed Dade county due to a slight 15 minute traffic jam on
I-85 just south of exit 28. Then in Trion on our way to Dade, we were
temporarily held up by a major traffic light. It was rather curious that it
was fine before we came to a stop under it, then all directions were being held
to a red light for some reason. Finally after about 5 minutes and wanting to
get Don into Walker County we simply went ahead. No sooner did we get through
the light than it started flashing Yellow. Hmmmmm, could Don have been
interfering with the signals?
We had a great time competing in the 50th anniversary of the Georgia QSO
Party. The pile-ups were huge but civilized (thanks), Europe was booming in on
20m (especially OM2VL).
This was our 4th N4ZZ team contest, and our first time participating in the
Georgia QSO Party contest. The conditions for contesting this weekend were
pretty ideal, starting with the large number of participants in this contest,
which would not have been possible without the hard work done prior to the
contest by the contest organizers. Not only did they advertise and get people
to participate but they also ordered perfect weather and good propagation
conditions.
We'd like to send a big thanks to all of the operators that worked us and
seemed to be lying in wait for us at every county border crossing. Special
thanks to the stations that worked us the many many times, but also to the
casual operators that just popped in for just one.
In conclusion, Georgia really knows how to put on a party. Thanks SECC,
SEDXC, and the others that help make this happen.
