Thought I would dump this in for my friends in FL and GA.

Hey Everyone,
Very long trip. But Bonnie and I survived! Actually, I had told
Bonnie on the ride
over to Mobile that I would be cleaning the fence line today and
spraying some
roundup, after breakfast this morning she suggested that we let it go
until next
week.. It did not take long for me to agree with her.... hi hi
Hope everyone had fun, I did!
btw, have allready received 85 logs via email. If you participated,
please send in
your log.
Take care and thanks to all that supported and participated in the
2009 AQP. I
promised to get these results out a lot quicker than last year.

Great turn out in and out of Alabama! Thanks to everyone that
participated in our event! We had perfect weather. Maybe not so
perfect
propagation, but it was as good as it could be!
We need your logs, please submit to logs[at]alabamaqsoparty[dot]org
I can't thank everyone enough!
I was mobile, CW only with my YL as the driver! Covered Escambia,
Monroe, Clarke, Washington, Choctaw, Sumter, Marengo, Hale, Perry,
Dallas,
Wilcox, Dallas, Lowndes, Montgomery, Crenshaw, Covington, Coffee and
Geneva counties--17 counties! About 744 miles include the trip for an
AQP
prsentation to the Mobile ARC, Mobile, AL on Friday night for about 40
of their
members. They had great attendance at their meeting and it was a
spirited
group. I have heard from others that there were several Mobile county
stations
on so I was glad that it worked out.
The actually trip operating in the AQP was 503 miles. So about 1
Q/mile. My YL drove almost all the way during the AQP. She began to
tire
around 9PM and I took over and got us the rest of the way in.
The mobile station consist of a 99 Chevy "Red" Truck with 253k miles.
Never missed a beat. Radio is an Icom 706MKII. I added the 500Hz CW
filter
this year and it was a lot better, especially on 40m. The antenna was
the
Hustler Mobile setup with resonators for 20m, 40m and 80m. Used a
laptop with
a DC to DC supply, Writelog and a microKeyer USB for the interface.
Had an
additional back up computer and a LPT CW interface, never had any
problems
with the primary setup. The 20m antenna was out of resonance some
how, but
made the adjustment on the fly and it worked very well.
My first contact was with KL7AI and I thougth: Man! this was going
to
be good! 20m was pretty good and yeilded a lot of Qs. 40m was good
too, but
seemed noisy during the early evening hours. Use 80m at the end and
worked
several, but there was alot of effort trying to get those Qs.
Changing counties
was a trip with the pileup each time. It was fun to work through it
all. Had a
number of Qs from DL3DXX, HK3Q and TI2II.
Thanks to everyone for tolerating my CW. I am getting a little
better, but still have a long way to go!
Thanks again to all that participated and hope that we can see
(hear)
you again next year! 73!
