Comments:
I was glad to have some of Sunday free to do this QSO Party. Worked W4MY seven
times and AD8J once. Don't know if AD8J WAS mobile or not. Also got one of
the bonus stations for 50 points. Heard no other mobiles. I only spent two
minutes checking bands other an 40/80 since I figured it was unlikely to have
propogation to NC on any other.
Much more active contest than I had anticipated. Extremely high SWR on 75m
limited my ability to make contacts there. I worked what I heard when I
could. By the time I got around to 40m, it only a short amount of time before
the suggested phone freqs were overrun with broadcast stations. All of that
and the fact that I prefer CW resulted in more CW contacts than phone.
On 80m I did hear a lot of the NC stations running around working each other,
which unfortunately meant that many weren't available to be worked by me. And
in almost every case the NC station who didn't have the frequency was the one I
needed for a new mult.
26 out of 100 counties? Pretty bleak, but I guess alright for three hours of
time.
Had a great, relaxing time. Thanks to all of the NC stations who were active,
and thanks to the sponsors!
