Alas, so true. Unless you are in the sate sponsoring the QSO party, it can be
mighty boring.
Last weekend I made a point of getting in the MARAC CW contest, since I live
in a county where me and my wife are 1/4 of the ham population. I made 75
QSO's. At 1400Z on both days, there was NO ONE in the contest on 20 meters.
This weekend is the Nevada QSO Party. The last two years, I have found no
activity, but I'll try again this weekend to put Storey County on the map.
Dedication or masochism? Go figure.
