Score includes 3,500 bonus points for activating 7 counties on 40m.
I was on a week long trip that started in south TX running PARKS for the park
hunters and counties for the county hunters. It worked out that I was in the
northeast corner of NM on Saturday evening, so scooted over to the Rita Blanca
Grasslands in Cimarron County OK on Saturday to put that out for the park
hunters, county hunters and OK QP folks. That's the far west county in the OK
panhandle. Stayed overnight in Dallam County TX at the Super8 south of there.
On Sunday, in the dark due to DST, I headed to Texas County and the Optima
National Wildlife Refuge and ran it there for the park chasers, county hunters
and OK QP folks. Did catch a few OK mobiles along the way but only hearing far
east side of OK - skip too long on 40m most of time I was in OK myself.
Stopped to run the parks for at least an hour. Also had over 100Q on 30m for
those folks on Sat/Sunday but they didn't count for QP. This was a
multi-purpose trip.
Headed east to Beaver County. Stopped to run it 20/30/40M. Then headed to
county line Ellis/Harper (ELL/HRP) then south to a the Kiowa National
Grasslands
in Roger Mills (RGM) - another 'park' in the WWFF-KFF system. Got the park
chasers, the OK QP folks and the county hunters in the log (and 30M QSOs too).
Nearby is another 'park' the Washita Battlefield and pulled in for a quick run
there. Some duplicate contacts had to be eliminated from log here as same
county but different park.
Time getting short so zipped on down to BECkham County and added a dozen Qs
there including more than 5 on 40M.
Counties run: CIM TEX BEA ELL HRP RGM BEC
Had fun - but all paper logs and had to be sliced and diced, entered into the
computer QSO by QSO, to upload to WWFF database, to Parks on the Air Database,
to LotW and then filtered (Dupes and 30m removed) for the OK QP log suing Fast
Log Entry (FLE) logging program which many park activators use.
