Thanks to my wife, K5AKS, for driving 1090 miles this weekend!
I thought I was going to have to sign /MM with all the rain we received in WTX
the last couple of days. Saturday morning and most of the afternoon we were
driving in the rain. About a third of the way through Concho county there was
a low water crossing that had high water and was closed so we had to find an
alternate route to Runnels. We backtracked and tried a county road in Tom
Green but it was blocked as well. We finally went back to San Angelo in Tom
Green and took US67 to Runnels. That detour cost us some time but I guess
there was enough fluff in the route that I was still able to get to my last
county, Martin, before 0200 Saturday night.
This is the first TQP in a long time that 15m has yielded significant QSO's. I
like to work some 40m in every county to work the TX stations but I was so busy
on 15m in some counties I didn't have time to move to 40m. 15m provided quite
a bit of DX as well. DX worked included DL, ES, F, G, HB, IK, JA, LA, OE, OH,
OK, ON, PA, SP, VK, and YV.
The QSO total is a record for me. However, my score was higher in 2010 due to
more multipliers. Thanks to everyone who called and kept calling as I tried to
work the pileups. The callers who were a little off zero beat or delayed
calling sure helped me out!
