A nice Saturday run around my home state - I was born and raised in
Sharon/Hermitage in Mercer county, before heading off to college in Ohio.
As noted by others, propagation was less than stellar, as expected at this part
of the sunspot cycle. Fortunately 80 meters worked, even during midday. Thanks
to those who helped keep the mobile window at 3535 clear. I had 80 meter QSOs
from every county. We had a respectable 110 QSOs in the first two hours, but
only 55 in the next two. The score was down from 173K last year, nearly all the
difference being on 40 meters.
Best QSO: an eyeball QSO with Pete, K0BAK, in Somerset county. This was not the
first time I've met Pete for a random eyeball QSO. A few years ago in the New
York QSO Party, we worked each other at opposite ends of a parking lot in Queens
before realizing where were both were, and then meeting up in person.
Big thanks to Gary, AF8A, who did 100% of the contest driving while I did 95% of
the operating, allowing Gary a few chances at the radio during bathroom breaks
and the like.
73 - Jim K8MR
