Comments:
Fun time, even though conditions were really bad on Sunday. I activated 10
counties in total; some of them I ran twice. Bonus points in each for getting
>10 QSOs, although my start in ERI was slow with only 31. Sunday in ELK,
nobody was interested in working me (26 QSOs). My usual pileup in CRN didn't
materialize because another station (or two?) activated it before me. My two
best counties were FOR (163) and WAR (147) followed by VEN (76), CRN (70), CLA
(66), CRA (64), POT (44), JEF(42), ERI (31) and ELK (26). If you missed any of
those counties you weren't looking for me! I spent at least an hour in each, CW
and SSB, 80-20m. I missed CLI, CMB, CRN, FOR, INN, WAR and WYO.
The mobile window is nice (but too wide) and for the most part observed.
However, one home station comes to mind that worked me, moved up maybe 100 Hz
(still in the window) and began running. I had to QSY from my spotted frequency.
SSB? Couldn't find a place on 75m to call CQ between all the power houses.
80/75m was definitely the place to be for PA stations; not so much for the rest
of the country. Only worked 76 QSOs on 20m, although I gave it an effort.
Finally worked bonus station K3SMT at 21:41 on 75m while I was in POT. Can't
believe I didn't get them anywhere before, but I guess they were running all the
time and didn't S&P. I had enough of the bad conditions and pulled the plug
to head home (2 hour drive). Did not activate MCK, which was on my list.
A BIG thank you to the double-digit QSO leaders: NS2N 27, OM2VL 17, AA3B 12,
AA3LX and WN4AFP 11. Many thanks to all that took the time to look for mobiles
and who gave me at least one QSO.
