Comments:
Gary/AF8A & I returned for the PAQP and Sunday bike ride on the Ghost Town
Trail in Indiana & Cambria counties. Sunday was a beautiful day for the
ride, for which we did the 50 mile round trip from Black Lick to Nanty Glo and
back.
The radio part was fun too. We had 994 QSOs the first day, mostly CW except for
20 or so SSB QSOs from Clearfield, and a lot of band changes with OM2VL. Sunday
after the ride we decided to do thing a bit differently on the way back to
Cleveland, with lots of SSB. Perhaps people were off watching football or
something, as we found open frequencies to have some very nice SSB runs,
normally a difficult thing from the mobile.
It was nice having enough solar activity to make 40 meters short during the day.
15 seemed open but not much activity. Best surprise was OM2VL booming on both CW
and SSB around 1930Z on Saturday. Busiest county was Clinton, which included a
food stop, with 109 QSOs, followed by Indiana with 105, split between Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to all who chased us around the state. Next serious QSO Party, Florida in
April.
