Wow, what a weekend!
Great conditions and great activity. In the 12 hour format Michigan and
Ohio
QSO parties I've only broken the 1K QSO mark one time, back in about 2003
in
MI. This year I beat that record by 400 QSOs. Many thanks to all FB CW ops
who
followed me around the state, and who in many cases were ready to quickly
QSY
to SSB. 40 meters stayed short until the end, allowing me to get a
reasonable
in state multiplier without having to resort to 80 meters, which is deadly
for
a mobile.
Pileups were intense, and it was fun going into full DXpedition mode,
cranking
up the speed and watching the rate soar. I recently picked a digital voice
recorder, and used it to record the entire contest. When I get some time I
will
get the files off and make them available to anyone who wants to hear what
it
sounds like from the mobile end.
An exchange with a QSO number requires more effort than just "599",
but it was fun following some of the good races out there - N4PN vs W0BH,
DL2HBX vs OM2VL, etc. I also enjoyed many QSOs with three of my previous
MiQP
partners, AC8E, AF8A, and K8BL. Those guys understood exactly what was
happening.
This year I recruited a new driver, John, K8YSE. He took to task to new
levels
of sophistication, taking my sketched out route and uploading it into his
GPS.
None of the "where the heck are we?" moments. Only one deer crossing
but not especially close, unlike 2010 when we nailed one in Mecosta county
for
$3K of (insured) damage.
MiQP is usually my 'last snow of the year" experience, and I did see
some on the ground in the northern counties. But the worst weather came
with
some serious snow squalls Saturday morning between my home on the east
side of
Cleveland and K8YSE's on the west side. But by the time I got to his QTH
it was
all clear, and remained so for the rest of the weekend.
Thanks again to all who participated. I hope to see you all back for the
Ohio QSO Party on Saturday, August 24.
