We operated a multi-single in the TQP with 11 operators with 2 rookies.
Our score was: 850 Q"s (phone only) 103 mults for 175,100.
We operated about 17 hours. Had good runs on 20. And at times on 40.
Not many Texas contacts. This was part of a overall effort by NARS
(Northwest
Amateur Radio Society) in Houston to help promote the Texas Qso Party. We
had 3 mobiles out covering about 75 counties, three other station at
weekend homes in three different counties and several other operators in
the NW Houston area. All told about 30 NARS members were involved one
way or the other. All the logs have not been collected, so the final
tally for NARS has not been determined yet. Hope to get that done by the
end of the week.
Thanks to the Texas DX Society for all the work they put into the TQP and
we at NARS hope that TQP will flourish. This was our first attempt in
this type of contest and we are already making plans for a bigger and better
effort next year.
