Comments:
My score incudes the bonus points for 10 counties. Note: my operating time ...
10 hours driving, 2 hours operating. I had never been in that part of the state
and my route was mostly driving in canyons and looking for that rare place where
I could stop and operate ... closed post office, closed gas stations. I had only
three operating locations where I was on top of a ridge and great location. Rig
is Icom 7200, 100 watts to either a 20 meter or 40 meter Hustler antenna that
was bumper mounted on my F150 ... need to get the HiQ fixed. The only county I
missed OM2VL was Boone county. I CQed for 30 minutes and received only two
calls. I drove on looking for another spot (now it is after dark) and the next
thing I know is that I am in Raleigh county. I entered my last county with 5
minutes left, hit the brakes and pulled off onto the shoulder, CQed and worked
OM2VL for my only Q in Greenbrier county. Next time ... a much different route.
