Comments:
Not my best effort but not sure what I could have done better. Maybe hitting 80m
during the day would have helped (I usually do that). Being single-op, you lose
a lot of operating time driving between counties. This year I skipped CHA,
which is where my cottage is, because going there creates a long drive to WYO
and then another long drive to ALL. With this plan I eliminated one long drive
(~45 minutes) and I ended with 9 hours operating time.
I activated 7 counties; ERI, CAT, WYO, ALL, LIV, STE and ONT and then
backtracked after dusk to get some QSOs on 80m. After finishing STE I debated
backtracking or going to the next county. I chose the latter and hope I
provided a needed county to some folks.
QSO leaders: OM2VL 25, K1RO 14, N6MU 9, N2JJ 8, WB2ABD and K2ZR 7, W5TM, W2RR
and W0ZQ 6. Lots with 5 QSOs. A special thanks to our southern neighbors (PA)
who were the second most worked state at 44. A good showing by OH, VA and IL
among others.
32 NY counties, 47 states and provinces and some DX were worked. OM2VL
accounted for 25 of my 31 DX QSOs. Thanks Laci for the support and for moving
me for additional bands/modes!
Thanks to all who came to our party! It was very much appreciated.
K3/100, KA8KIP Eliminator screwdriver and N1MM Classic. 219 miles driven. Not a
whole lot of gas due to my new scooter, a Toyota RAV4. Only two deer in the
middle of the road; didn't contact either of them.
73, Tom N2CU
