Comments:
Conditions, particularly on 20M, and on 40M within the state of NM, were
terrible most of the day. As a result, I spent most of the time on CW. Things
picked up for the last 2 hours or so and 40M CW was very productive then. I
made over 100 QSOes the last two hours, although many of those were twofers on
the SMI/TOR county line.
Originally we had planned on doing 14 counties, but at the turnaround point we
found ourselves 1.5 hours behind, mostly because conditions were poor and it
took a while to accumulate the 15 QSOes per county for the bonus. So we decided
not to do three counties. Still, 11 counties is a no small undertaking in NM;
when it was all over, we had traveled 519 miles and used about 19 gallons of
gas. Having a driver and being able to work while in motion helps a lot.
New this year was a table I made for county line crossings from the NMDOT
milepost map which gave the driver heads up when she was about to hit a county
line as well as filling in when the signs were missing.
This is a better score than last year, mainly due to visiting two more counties
and making a lot more CW QSOes.
