Hi Denis,
Glad you found a good seat for the 7QP.
We didn't get the 2el 80m up at WS7N last week. will have to wait. He
did get the 160V up so look for N7LE from Deschutes County on all bands.
All the OR counties are covered though the contest experience level of a
few of the ops is a bit weak and will be ssb only. It will be possible
to work all 36 Oregon counties. We're still a bit weak in Idaho, but the
others look very good. See the list of operations.

I will be publishing my mobile route with times and frequencies on the
web site later next week.
Answers to your questions below.
73,
Dick, k4xu Oregon 7QP captain
possibly as W7ESU mobile

Yes - it's just like CQP. DX QSOs count same as domestic QSOs but no mults.

n/a

Yes, just like in CQP. The idea is to promote working mults rather than
local county hunting. There's no penalty for working our W7 counties,
just no mults past the state.
