A H-U-G-E (upstate NY'ers will get the reference) thank you to the NYQP
organizers and the RDXA for this event. This was more like it (see my
comments from last year). Even though conditions were sucky to the extreme,
activity was good. My start in ERI was very slow and it was like pulling
teeth to get a QSO. I CQ'd on 20, 40 and 80 with little to show. 47 QSOs. It
was the same thing last weekend in the PAQP where I started in ERI also.
Maybe it's something with the county name :) In CHA, things improved with a
better location and the sun warming things up. 102 QSOs. CAT was not far
away, distance wise from the ERI and CHA lines, and it produced pretty well.
86 QSOs. Then it was a longer drive to reach WYO, ALL and LIV. Once in LIV
after sunset I decided to change my on-the-fly plans and double back through
a few counties to get some 80m QSOs. That was a good choice rather than
running 20 or 30 miles to another county. I loaded up in WYO and ALL to
finish. WYO 128 QSOs, ALL 160 QSOs and LIV 124 QSOs. I also finished 1 hour
away from home; got home at a decent hour. I checked/CQ'd on 15 and 80
during the daylight hours but no takers for the most part. Got lots of crazy
good signal reports, like 40 over 9 on 40m SSB from a station in New
England, and 20 over 9 from the midwest. I love it! Maybe being on a hilltop
at 2100' elevation had something to do with it. Stats: Best 60 minute rate
