[SECC] VAQP - WN4AFP

[Dave Edmonds]

Congrats to K4BAI, John for an excellent VAQP score. Since my claimed score
was 2nd to his, I thought that I'd credit this contest to the SECC!

Comments:

This is now my only QRP contest during the year.I'm located at the 'sweet spot'
for communication with VA on 40m and 80m. Every contact in this contest seemed
like I was working DX. Repeats and fills was the norm during this test of my
endurance. I ended Saturday night with about 6k and a decent score in this race
and I was considering making this a one day event. However, I ran into W4GO/m,
Matt and I had to follow him around on Sunday afternoon on 80m if I could. After
getting home from church, I saw the spotter page and everyone was running on
80m. This was going to be a challenging finish. After calling Matt for 2 hours
without a response, he finally heard me and I worked him in 16 counties. 80m
finally opened up for the last few hours and it was a big boost to my score.
Thanks to all of you for pulling me out from below the noise floor! Thank you
Gordon and your team for putting on a very strong VAQP! 73s Dave WN4AFP
