First time to operate the LA QSO Party. I was able to tie it into a visit with
family in S. AR. But it's still 600 miles from WTX to the starting point!
Thanks to everyone who called and followed me around N. LA. And a BIG thanks
to my wife and driver, K5AKS.
This is the first time I've ever been checked out by the local sheriff in a QSO
party. We were parked on the side of the road in Jackson Parish and I noticed a
sheriff's vehicle had pulled into a store lot down the road. Guess he was
running our plates. Then he pulled up along side and asked if everything was
OK. My wife told him it was a "ham radio contest". I'm sure he didn't know
any more when he left than when he stopped.
The RTTY contest really didn't cause much problem on 40m. I was able to move
down the band away from it and then moved to 80m. There was good activity on
80 as well as the whole QSO party.
DX worked included DL3DXX, LY5A, G3WPF, JO7WXN, DL3IAC, HA8IB, OE5KE, and
SP5SA. I think JO7WXN is the first JA I've ever worked while out mobile in a
QSO party.

KV8Q(32), N6MU(23), NT2A(22), K9EN(22), W0GXQ(21), W4SIG(18), K5WAF(17),
