As mentioned in my W3USA/M post, I had been looking for a driver/operator
partner for the PaQP for over a week, when within half an hour I received two
replies. So I ended up going out on Saturday with K8BL as W3USA/M, and then
doing Sunday with AF8A as K8MR/M.

It was certainly a beautiful weekend to be out touring Pennsylvania, and the
radio conditions pretty much matched the weather conditions. I did notice the
bands going somewhat dead around 1800z Sunday, and indeed looking at the
Spaceweather Now web site afterward, the Bz magnetic field took a dip negative
(bad) right about then. But short skip on 40, and 15 and even 10 being open was
a treat after all these low sunspot years.

Overall for the weekend, the combined total was 1511 qsos, 58 unique sections,
and 59 unique counties, which would come out to 332,170 points, which would
have been a new record. This is of course something of and apples/oranges
comparision, not knowing if the K8MR route could have been moved to cover
counties not done by W3USA, but in any case it was a good year!
