Comments:
I operated Saturday from home in Kansas and Sunday as a mobile in Missouri. I
combined numbers for the State QSO Party challenge (didn't know any other way to
do it). Maybe I could have made two separate submissions. My actual scores
were:
KS: (46CW+26PH)*43 mults = 5074+100(W0MA Bonus)+100(eBonus) = 5274 in 2.4 hrs
MO: (430CW+248PH)*36 mults = 39888 + 100(eBonus) = 39988 in 2.9 hrs
Log will be submitted to the QSO party sponsor.
2021 Missouri QSO Party by Bob Harder, W0BH
Lorna and I had planned a full two-day effort this year including booking the
hotels and planning the trip. Then I read the rules. Note to self: read the
rules first! I noticed that the Kansas Mobile Single-Op category didn't allow a
driver like most QSO parties do for safety reasons. Since Lorna didn't want to
operate this time around and I needed Single-Op status for the State QSO Party
Challenge, we decided to operate Sunday only and mix the MOQP with an IKEA run
in Kansas City, our first since COVID. I had fun working Missouri from home in
Kansas on Saturday.
Since I was driving and operating (not at the same time), I planned a short
route to include four multi-county-line stops with minimal distance in between
to maximize my time spent on the radio. We got to Missouri on time, but since I
didn't want to operate while driving and we were behind schedule, I scratched
the first stop to give me more time in the rest. Good plan, and everything went
according to schedule with no problems after that.
Since I operated less than 3 hours total, the only thing I'll say about the run
was that Missouri is a really beautiful state in the rolling hills country north
and east of Kansas City.

Afterwards
Thanks to the BEARs for organizing the event! The 1x1 operations were really
good. A number of them worked me on 40 and 80 throughout the day, and FunSpots
worked great. Great to work Connie, K5CM/m from both KS and MO!
The 2021 Kansas QSO Party is scheduled for August 28-29, the last weekend in
August. With 105 counties, we need all the help we can get, so mobiles, head
this way! Everyone else, thanks for the Qs in Missouri, and see you down the
log in 2021 ..
73, Bob/w0bh
