Soapbox Comments
________________
My first effort in this one and 4th QSO party in so many weeks.
Enjoyed the thrill of mult hunting, and the many mobiles and
portable stations with such excellent signals. Great
fun and inspiration for improvements on our TN QSO party.
These "parties" are great for station shake-downs. A lot is
learned about antenna patterns and effectiveness.
Couldn't find anyone with a .DOM file, so I made one just
before blast off. Of course my first Q's were counties that I
had omitted, so back to the .DOM file to input the missing
column of counties! Where was the SSB activity? Couldn't scare
anything up on 75M. 160M would have been great fun, but nobody
was home. Great Fun! I'll be baaaack.
