Total score includes 2000 total bonus points, 500 bonus points for working
K5GQ/m in at least 5 counties, 500 points for working N5NA/m in at least 5
counties and 1000 points for working W5CT/m in at least 10 counties.
It wasn't the way K5OT and I had planned to do the TQP but Murphy struck the
Pathfinder about two days before I was set to drive to Texas to meet up with
Larry and the shop which was about 50 miles from home could not get the vehicle
back on the road in time for the trip.
So I got to listen to the action from New Orleans, primarily on Sunday as I was
tied up on Saturday getting the Pathfinder back to New Orleans. 40m was the
money band since the only stations I could hear well on 20m were N5NA who was
far enough away in WTX and W3DYA who was up in the panhandle. W5CT(12),
K5GQ(9), N5NA(7), W3DYA(4), K5OT(3), and KI5AH(1) were all solid copy with
excellent mobile signals. I put the aprs map to good use as it allowed me to
see when the mobiles were about to transition into the next county.
Thanks to all who participated in the TQP, especially the mobiles. Finally it
was good to work K5SBR in Calhoun county as that area was one of the counties
that was paid a visit by Harvey. Hope to be back on the road in the 2018 TQP
and that hurricane season 2018 will be less active.
