Comments:

Thanks to Story County ARC for sponsoring the QP.

Thanks for all those that got on the air and call me. This wouldn't be any fun
without you.

This year's Iowa QP was suppose to be a multiple operator event but the forecast
for bad WX changed the plan. W0BNW was going to operate SSB using a temporary
antenna and I was going to handle the CW from my mobile station. The rain would
make Jim's operation too difficult so we both agreed he would operate from his
home station if he so desired.

My XYL packed a picnic lunch and rode along just for the ride. We made 7 stops
activating 15 counties. Conditions seemed poor but all the other QSO parties in
progress might have caused the lack of Iowa activity. The forecasted bad WX
never really got that bad which is good for county line operation.

Those in the log with 10+ QSOs are (in no order):
AC7GG, DL3GA, K4BAI, K9CW, KA6BIM, OM2VL (21 QSOs!), WN4AFP

DX worked:
9A, DL, F, HA, OM, SP, UA

When N0HR, NU0Q, or WW0Z, some of my local hams, called in it brought a smile to
my face.

I had 5 hours of operating time, the last QSO was at 0042z on 80m. It had just
begun to storm and only the loudest stations got through the QRN.

73 and thanks for the QSOs, Bill, N0AC
