Comments:
Very good signals from The Bluegrass State into W1-land on 20m, and later
40m/80m. But somewhat sparse activity from KY really put the emphasis on
*Search* in my S and P mode. Chasing Spotting Network spots of KY stns as well
as some QSY requests late in event helped the score ... TNX to those who moved
for new bands/modes! Joined the party 4 hrs late so missed all early activity,
incl. much of AE8M as mobile.
*Heavy* 40m WAE DX RTTY QRM from 7.035 and up throughout event rendered KyQP
40m CW suggested QRG of 7.050+/- just useless. Very unfortunate as 40m CW is
such a 'go-to' band/mode during QSO parties -- but NOT in this one! Highly
suggest use of 7.025 thru 7.035 as improved QRGs for future KyQP events in case
of overlap with WAE DX RTTY contest.
Worked 21 unique calls and 20 (of 120!) unique KY county mults. Mobiles worked
(and QSOs) were: KM4FO/m (4), AE8M (2), KC4S/m (1). TNX for your activity!
Still had fun despite lack of Ky stns found -- certainly the most Ky QSOs I've
had in any one event! Final claimed score includes bonus stn points.
Icom 706 MKIIG @ 100w; Hexbeam @ 32' on 20m; 88' doublet up 40' on 40m/80m;
N1MM+ Logger.
