1994 Wisconsin QSO Party Score Rumors & Comments 3/18/94
Well, another 7-hour Wisc. QSO Party is history. My Internet offer of a free
pound of official Wisconsin Cheese to the top out-of-state entrant seemed to
encourage many of you to get on and work us Cheeseheads! BIG THANKS to these
Internet guys who showed up in my log: K9EC, KH6GMP, WD0T, N7LOX, K6XO,
KI4HN, K7GM, K3LR, AA6MC, WB9TIY, K0GU, AA7NX (& probably more). Also Major
Big Thanks to AJ9C and KE9I who drove to Wisc. all the way from Indiana to
operate Multi-Mobile and gave out many new counties!!
I have decided to give two cheese prizes this year. One to the overall top
out-of-state entrant as reported in official results. The other prize to the
top out-of-state entrant that sends me their score via Internet (an Internet
only prize, if you will.) So, if you beat WD0T's score, get it in now!
These score rumors are anything but complete. Most guys didn't think to try
3830 after the test. I don't believe there will be any big rifts in the top
three in-state scores, however. Corrections/additions to KA9FOX@AOL.COM
