Comments:
The above score includes 24000 bonus points for activating 24 counties.
This year was a bit more leisurely than in the past. I only operated from a
total of 24 counties. I got back home a little after 6 pm on Saturday and
around 2:30 pm on Sunday. I reduced my route to try to save a bit on the fuel
cost. Diesel is still expensive. Also I had our furry four legged op in the
back seat. He did fine but was glad to get home.
I was happy to see 15m open. DX stations were LOUD on 15m. However, Murphy
struck after 81 QSOs on 15m. I worked N8II in Upton County and the program
crashed. Rebooted, got everything going and worked KA6BIM when it crashed
again. I suspect RF found its way into my GPS but I don't understand why it
worked great all day on 15m up to that point. Finished up in Crane and Ector on
40 and 20 with no problem. It's been a lot of years since I operated much 15m
in the mobile.
