Comments:
Enjoyed the contest although I ended up operating only the first day and only
activating three counties. I had been ill since the weekend of the GA QSO Party
and have been wheezing making phone operation difficult. My XYL was the driver
and she had to work Saturady morning which severely hampered our plans.
Activity seemed up over last year and the bands were in better shape. Actually
had more QSOs this year, despite our problems and only operating Saturday. Had
to yell into the microphone a lot to get my QRP signal into some logs; a big
THANK YOU to all the ops with such good ears. Maybe the folks working us QRPers
should get extra points.
For those that are interested: our mobile was our 2002 Itasca Sunstar mobile
home, antenna was a Hustler whip, rig was Icom 706 MKIIG which won out over the
FT-817 when I tested them head to head in the GA QSO Party.
Next year we are moving back to Mississippi in the Air Force, so we may or may
not be operating mobile. It sure is fun, and I'm working on an article for an
RV magazine about operating state QSO Parties.
73 and OJ,
Jim N3AWS/m4
