Comments:
This was my first time in the MO QP. I had only limited time so I chose to run
across the northern tier of counties. Made it to Worth before I had to head
for home (3.5 hour drive).
In QPs I'm not in them to win, rather, I focus on helping out DX stations with
their county hunting needs; especially OM2VL and PA3ARM. I was able to
activate 11 counties for Laci (including 4 in Iowa/Illinois before the
contest). It's especially satisfying to help someone when it's their last
county in a state :-)
Propagation was excellent. I was worried the SP DX contest would interfere but
I managed to find a quiet'ish spot. I'm a solo operator (no driver) so I
operated from county lines to keep my Q rate up to 2-3 per min which is
generally very good for this type of contest. Generally, I would work a county
pair dry in about 30 minutes. Schuyler/Putnam though must have been pretty rare
because I had half my Qs from that site.
I worked one band only (20m) but next year I'll bring my 40m and 15m Hamsticks.
It was a very nice day to be out for a drive. Great weather and friendly
people I met along the way. Thank you for everyone that worked me. I
appreciate everyone's patience as I worked the pileups.
73, Bob W0GXA
