Comments:

This was my first attempt at the MO QSO Party. I knew going in that the 14 hour
stretch on Saturday was going to be a grind, and it was. I learned a few things
though. I scheduled a dinner/gas stop for about 7:30PM (0030Z). Looking back,
this was just the time when the rates were going up. Bad choice but I was
hungry.

I was able to stay very close to my published schedule both days so I was
happy. I arrived at the hotel Saturday night ten minutes early and took that as
a good stopping point. When I walked into the lobby there was a large, loud,
wedding reception going on in the bar. When I got my room number and found out
it was just above the bar I had to do some renegotiation. In the end I ended up
on the third floor and slept soundly.

N1MM reports the maximum one hour rate as 127/hr, this was the last hour I was
on the road Saturday night. Rates in the middle of the afternoon were around
60/hr.

Thanks to everyone who followed along during the weekend. The Top Ten List
includes:
K1RO - Mark had propagation on 40M & 20M most of the time
N6MU
NE9M
N5NA
K3WJV
W8TM
W0S
KC3X
W0ZQ
N4VV
W3DYA

Thanks to the BEARS for sponsoring the MOQP. I look forward to another run next
spring.

73, Pat KØPC
