Comments:
It was a fun time running the KSQP as a mobile solo op. We had cool weather
this year starting out with a temperature of 65 degrees, and with the highest
temperature recorded on Saturday afternoon at just 77; this MN boy thoroughly
enjoyed that! A sprinkle of rain on Saturday, but more serious day long rain on
Sunday. The Sunday rain did cause my tuner to run erratically on 40m resulting
in occasionally funky keying. I ended up placing a paper coffee cup upside down
just above the coil to help keep the rain off of it, that seemed to calm the
tuner down. From 22 KS counties I worked 14 unique DX stations led by DL3DXX
(22, 2 on 40m), OM2VL (13, 1 on 40m), DK2OY (5), DL8USA (4)and HA8IB (4).
Signals from DX were often better than stateside with lots and lots of QSB.
Conditions at time seemed good, then within a minute stations would disappear.
Overall, the only thing you could do was just keep plugging away. I did run for
a little bit on 80m on Saturday evening around 8:30pm but we had big
thunderstorms just west of me that made working the band difficult this year.
Those storms blew over me during the night time hours with 4 hours of constant
lightening. A big thanks to my MN friends who provided 47 Q's from 15 different
stations. And as always a tip of the hat to Bob, W0BH, and his team for
sponsoring such a fun event. Thanks everyone for the Q's. PS: I will upload
to LoTW in a few days for county hunters. 73, Jon
