Comments:

A memorable event for me and especially because of a "seismic"
increase in in state activity. I would guess I worked close to 3 times as many
WV QSO's as last year. There was significant sporadic E for at least 7 out of
the 12 hours. There were 2 good 20M openings into New England at the start and
in the 23Z hour. Around 24Z I worked a few WV stations in other parts of the
state and several OH and KY stations on 20. 40 was excellent to the close in
states including WV for several hours. 19 and 20Z were fairly poor for any short
skip as were the last 2 hours. I checked 10M a couple of times, not much
happening, but 15 was open well to the west coast for 2-4 hours with almost no
activity.

Incredible WV stats(county abbreviation and QSO's >1):
BAR,BER-4,BRA,BRO-3,HAM-4,
HAN-3,HAR,JAC,JEF-4,KAN-12!,MAR,MAS-4,MCD-2,MER-3,MON-5,MRN-2,OHI,PRE-2,RAL,
RIT,ROA,SUM,UPS,WAY,WOO-6 for 66 QSO's and 25 counties! I did not have time to
chase N8OYY/M who would have pushed the mults higher. The goal was to maximize
QSO's for the State QSO Party Challenge. Out of state QSO totals: CA-42,FL-37,
GA-47,IL-53,KS-33,KY-30(more answered CQ's than in KYQP!),MI-45,MN-43,MO-40,
OH-67(highest out of state),NY-33,PA-33,TN-39,TX-39,WI-35. I worked all states. 
There were very few EU Q's compared to last year. Best DX was loud VK7RG at 03Z
on 20 phone.

It was fun to work some high rates; I made 102 QSO's in first 30 minutes on 20
phone and first hour was 167. Other hours over 100/hr were: 18Z-135,19Z-110,
23Z-119,00Z-133,01Z-107,02Z-105. Right around 03Z activity plummeted. I think
this was the first year when end time was moved from 02Z to 04Z. My overall rate
was approximately 120/hr in about 9 hours 40 minutes on the air. Power was only
200W.

Thanks to all of the WV stations who were active making it fun for all. And
thanks to the many who just called in for a casual QSO along with the serious
ops. This is the first year in a while with decent in state activity, a trend
which we hope will continue.

73, Jeff N8II
