I was one of the W4AN bonus stations on 160 CW/SSB,75 SSB,40 CW
and 20 CW only.
I tried calling CQ on 160 SSB but no answers. I spent about 7
hours operating as
W4AN and three hours as KU8E.
Thanks to the others who volunteered to be GQP bonus stations :
W4AN - K4BAI and KT4ZB
W4NT - K4BAI, N4RJ, W6IZT, W4GKF and NI4Y
Going into GQP we didn't know what to expect because the rover
stations are
always a big part of it. Both AD4EB and KN4Y had planned to come
to Georgia to
activate many counties and the regulars W4AN, N4I and N4N had
plans as well. It
really sucked that we weren't allowed to do these rover operations
due to
COVID-19 travel restrictions in Georgia. I hope Jim (+XYL/driver
Melody) and Ed
can make it next year. It turned out that the number of Georgia
counties active
was probably 1/3 of what it usually is. But the activity from
Georgia fixed
stations exceeded my expectations. Hat's to all the clubs in
Georgia for
encouraging their members to get on the air, A big thanks to the
North Fulton
Amateur League who supports the GQP in a big way every year. They
were
responsible for all those 1x1 special calls you worked.
I thought the bonus station idea worked out very well. I got this
idea from what
they do in the IARU contest with HQ stations at multiple
locations. I know I had
some pretty big pileups on me all the time. I might look into
keeping that as a
permanent fixture in the future.
A big thanks to everyone outside of Georgia who got on the air and
worked us.
Everyone stay safe...
