>From here in North Texas this was almost solely a 40m fest. 20m was just too
long this year and made only 1 20m QSO. The dedicated spotting board at
http://cwfun.org/funspots/ksqp/frames.html was a great help.
This was the first contest in which I used my new toy, as SDRplay box interfaced
wtih N1MM+. Spent lots of time staring at the waterfall and jumping on new
trails as they showed up in the ~7029-7045 kHz space. Rig was a TS-590SG. Only
used the amp on SSB, 100 watts was sufficient on CW and the two RTTY QSOS. Also
made a handful of FT8 Q's that went in the separate log for such.
Managed to work all of the 1x1 calls except for W0N, K0U, K0E, N0E, W0Q AND
W0T.
Missed 9 counties (not bad considering I was essentially limited to 40m): ATC,
COM, HAS, HPR, JAC, KIO,NOR,SMN and TRE.
Kudo's to W0BH for organizing a great party with some neat prizes. Looking
forward to getting some more antique stamps. I was able to spell out all this
year's prize phrases (KANSAS, SUNFLOWER, QSOPARTY & YELLOWBRICKROAD) based
on the letter suffixes of the 1x1 calls.
After a 3 year hiatus, I'm planning on taking "the olde grey lady" (my
1986 Pontiac Parisienne) on a 40+ county SSB operation in the Texas QSO Party in
3 weeks. Note that the TxQP is 2 weeks earlier this year (Sept 14/15) compared
to past years, finally (!) getting it de-conflicted with the CQ WW RTTY contest.
See you down the log..
