[MiQP-Mail] CW question

[Hank Greeb]

The problem with working all counties is that all counties aren't on 
when the propagation is right.  For example, had I been serious with the 
GQP yesterday, I'd have had a very hard time catching all the counties 
because often I heard the "other half" of a mobile's contact on 20 
meters.  He never showed up on 40 from that county, which was the 
propagation that "probably" would have worked from Michigan to that 
Georgia county at that time. Other Georgia stations, fixed and mobiles 
were making it on 40.  

The contest might be more fun if we'd each try to convince a fellow ham 
to get on from home in a "rare" county.   Sure, mobiling is fun, but 
there are so many counties without a fixed station entry (33 out of 88 
possible counties) that it's almost embarrassing.
