Wow what a hot qso party! Really! the hottest wx of summer so far! This
was my 2nd year in KQP and upped the score by almost 50k! And solo!
Sat. went smooth and as planned ,even got ahead one county on my sked.
But Sun. was a stress test. Left the home QTH with a half-baked plan
and at the first stop on the Linn-Bourbon line, good old murphy froze
up N1MM while on 15m.Worked perfect the day before....what the heck?
So I avoided 15m and more freeze ups and it cost me my goal of 1000
q's as i had hoped . Looked possible by Sat. nite and I came close ,
but not to be.. I have yet to break 1k qso's in any contest. Maybe
another time. I tried some fone cq'ing but my patience is poor so
when five or ten calls goes unanswered I tend to move on. So this time
all CW again. Another fine job of coordinating by Bob
(W0BH) as he has done in the past. Heard a lot of qso's going on
while i motored from site to site. I couldn't help but think a lot of
op time was being wasted ,but that's solo- rover life! Most
of the countyline stops i found had powerlines overhead so I had
trouble with lighter signals and I'm sorry for that. Those powerpoles
are hard to see on google maps hihi..I searched out each stop and
pinned it on my iphone and that worked really well. Even gave me the
E.T.A. to pinned site. Our age of electronics is amazing but when your
PC freezes..........oh well. Hey I hope everybody had
a good time , will be fun to read all the soapbox stories! 73 til next
time Mark W0E/ KI0I
