Comments:
The bands were pretty darned good up here in Michigan. It was tough operating
with such a long callsign but I wanted to help commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the QRP ARCI club. I and 9 other Michigan QRP-ers used this same call with
our county appended to it like the mobile stations do.
Unfortunately I had many stations persist in calling (and probably logging) me
as K6JSS/8 in spite of my never sending that suffix and always using the /WASH
suffix as much as possible. Some people head heard of the anniversary and
understood what we were doing, but others just go confused, so I hope the log
checking software is smart enough to work through the inevitable confusion.
I also had quite a few stations thinking I was a dupe. Some I could reach with
an explanation (uses up a lot of time, though) so I made it into their logs, but
a minority insisted that I was a dupe and refused to work me (another huge waste
of time). Those kinds of issues made it tough going, but otherwise this was -
again - a great contest that brings an excellent turnout and a lot of fun.
Thanks to all who persevered in pulling out my QRP signal. I got the
impression I was being heard pretty well, fortunately, even by the marginal
stations, so it was a good time.
Next year I plan to be kicking butt under my own call (or trying to), even if I
don't have that big tower I want
