A very interesting time was had by all! A flare, QRN, lots of mobiles
handing out counties and lots of activity. I was amazed, once again, how
quickly the bands can bounce back after a flare during a contest. After
hearing nothing on 20 and then 40 I literally got out the MFJ259 and
made sure that I hadn't killed my radios (I was going to try some SO2R)
Highlights:
Invented new class SO0R (single op zero radio) SO2R doesn't work if the
bands break
Lots of activity- PA wins the out of state award with 39 in the log, MI
is second with 32, cuyahoga county wins the in state with 15 in the log.
W1NN/M telling me he is not going to erie-then later having him tell me
on cw-ERIE in 15 minutes-not only got him in erie for my own county but
got him in Huron and Medina
N6MU once again we tried for all bands-got 15-40 cw and ssb with him
being my last qso on 40ssb 1 minute before end-TNX!
A few DX contacts-even on 40 !
About 40% cw to 60% ssb qsos
Lots of people who were glad to participate in a QSO PARTY!!
I really like this one-a fun way to get a tuneup for the fall
