Comments:
Not exactly a blistering rate (it took about 4.5 hours to make the first 100
Q's), but decent activity for an inaugural event. You could tell that guys who
never worked contests were encouraged by the organizers and clubs to get on the
air. Around 16-18Z, there was a pretty solid 25 khz swath of KS stations running
guys on 20 phone with a few more around the edges. The ugly was good pror to Eu
leading to a lot of confusing signals working the YODX test and a RTTY test
causing plenty of QRM on 40; this did discourage the contest neophytes from
CQ'ing and bury some who were CQ'ing including the mobiles. I only managed to
add about a dozen new fixed stations on Sunday by CQ'ing; activity was down
quite a bit from the day before. I didn't use spots, too unchallenging, and
still managed to work 94 of the 105 counties. Knowing where W0BH was by his
published schedule helped log a few Q's on 40 CW that would have been guesswork
otherwise. And speaking of Bob, he and Lorna, K0WHY activated 36 counties, 35 of
which I logged and Q's with them were an incredible 98 with W0BH/M and 32 with
K0WHY/M. Many thanks for 39% of my total KSQP QSO's! They logged about 1000
miles total trip to do that! The only time we were able to work on 40 phone was
in the last 2 hours Saturday. By the time 40 opened well to KS around 23Z,
activity on phone was pretty low even though there were plenty of clear
frequencies, and the QRM killed CW.
Thanks to the other mobiles for the QSO's and some new counties: K5YAA - 26
Q's,
WY0A - 21 phone Q's, NU0Q - 15 Q's, K0RU - 11, KC0SKR (with K0RU) 7 phone, NA0V
-5 phone.
Thanks to W0BH, N0LD, and the Boeing ARC and others for the turnout and
sponsorship.
