In 2011 I made a similar mobile effort which resulted in more Q’s (352)
in less operating time. Whereas in other contests, the rate seems to go
up after dark, this time it went down. I had plenty of time to operate
in the last two counties (ALLE and OTTA). But after initial good runs in each
county, contacts became sparse no matter which band or mode I tried.
Thanks to all who called. The most frequently worked stations were WA3HAE 7,
KA8O 7, K2DSW 6, K8BKM 6, W4ANT 6, K8RYU 5, VE3WG 5 WN4AFP 5.
The low point of the contest actually occurred just before the start of the
contest. I researched on the internet a nice operating site in Manistee County
on a beach by Lake Michigan in the town of Manistee. When I arrived, the sky
was blue and the beach and lake were beautiful, sea gulls were flying around.
It seemed perfect. But the darn bathrooms were locked. Locking the bathrooms
is not the way to keep Michigan pure.
