Hi Folks:
This weekend is the Missouri QSO Party!!! The second day starts at
1800Z today and runs until 0000Z this evening (6 hours).
W0ESE (another K2 owner) and I will be operating N0SS/M, driving
through a number of semi-rare Missouri counties as we travel. Here's
a list of the counties we'll hit today:
MOQP 2006 - N0SS/M DAY 2 ROUTE
(9 COUNTIES, 223 miles, in 5h 30m)
COL - COLE (starting county)
OSA - OSAGE
GAS - GASCONADE
MGM - MONTGOMERY
WAR - WARREN
CAL - CALLAWAY
AUD - AUDRAIN
BOO - BOONE
RAN - RANDOLPH
CAL - CALLAWAY
COL - COLE (back home again)
You can work us from each county!
We'll operate CQ ONLY with my K2/100. Operating frequencies will generally
be xx.042 MHz +/- 1kHz for QRM. I'll be concentrating on 20M (early
afternoon) and 40M (later in the day, swapping back/forth between 40M
and 20M as activity dictates).
I'll be calling "CQ MOQP DE N0SS/M/xxx" where "xxx" is the
three-letter abbreviation for the current county (see above list).
Please work us if you can catch us... band conditions have been
pretty poor and FINDING contacts has been somewhat brutal... only 116
Q's as a result of yesterday's 4:30 effort.
If you call us and we continue to call CQ, it's because we can't hear
you!!! Sometimes power line noise gets pretty heavy (even with the
great noise blanker and DSP noise reduction enabled). If we don't
reply within a few calls, wait a while and try again. If you can and
we work someone else, don't assume we didn't hear you... the other
guy might have either been stronger of get his call in quicker...
NEVER GIVE UP!!! <G>
I hope we'll work a bunch of Elecrafters this afternoon.
73,
Tom N0SS
