Comments:
My favorite QSO Party and I had to miss so much of it. Way too many family
commitments meant just grabbing an hour hear and there throughout the weekend.
Great conditions early in the morning and late in the afternoon on 20m.
Unfortyunately from about 1600z to 2000z conditions become very marginal and
signals from FL are in the S0 to S3 range and I find myself waiting in the
pileups. Switch to 15m and signals from FL are 10dB over 9 and the band is
quiet. Wish more of the moblies used 15m but I guess why bother when the
pileups never seem to end.
It happened twice where I came upon a frequency with a mobile that worked a few
contacts then switched counties. I figured great I would get them before the
masses descend. No such luck, they drove through the whole county and switched
to the third county before with me calling before I finally worked them.
It was almost funny as I would call and the mobiles would work the same big gun
eastern stations over and over before I could get through. VE1RGB, VE9AA and the
wide array of VE3s.
The mobiles make this QSO party a real party! Start to finish these mobiles
give out the QSOs while racking up miles and burning through gas. It is truly
appreciated!
Hope to make it to the party full time next year!
