Message-ID: <8B5CB40158134A58BF806E8F658032B7@TurdFerguson> Greetings Looks like we have about 40ish counties to go for full coverage! Make sure to ring doorbells, email, smoke signal, text, tweet, call (you know - on a phone) talk it up on the air, etc If you are operating please put your plans up on the activity page-even if you only plan a part time effort. Condx lately have been relatively good with short skip on 20 and 15. I called CQ on 10 the other day to see if there were any reverse beacon spots and ended up with a quick QSO to LA! Anything can happen on da bands!!! WE NEED MORE MOBILES AND ROVERS! Please consider one of these ways to double and triple your fun in the OHQP!

Please, if you know anyone who is a possible participant urge them to get on even if only for a short stint.I have received feedback from my emails and looks like some guys are ready to chase Ohio counties on next Saturday! I realize time is getting short but a few more mobiles and rovers would really help. Conditions on the bands yesterday were punk but over the last few weeks there has been excellent short skip on 20 and even 15. 40 has been its usual stalwart self with generally good conditions.

Just a quick follow-up note to the group. I?m looking forward to operating OHQP this year as AA8HH, not TI8/AA8HH. We are in West Central Florida, and are putting up a temporary vertical for 80 ? 10 meters solely for the contest. We are living in temporary place (in Sarasota) until our new home is completed in Nokomis, Fla. I picked up a used 6BTV yesterday at the Tampa Hamfest and plan to toss it up Saturday morning and take it back down at midnight. Hopefully, I will be able to finish the contest before someone files a complaint with the Home Owners Association! As I have often said, ?It is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission?. Best of luck to all of the Ohio participants? Mobiles, Rovers and Fixed Stations. I hope that Mother Nature and Old Sol cooperate for a few hours on Saturday! 73 Steve ?

Those windows are hard to keep clear, especially on SSB where there are lots of non-OhQP stations floating around. And in most cases on CW it's not to hard for a mobile op to find a clear frequency. There is, however, one exception to this. Given the low solar activity it is quite likely there will be little or no short skip on 40 meters, making it difficult for people in Ohio and nearby states to work in-state mobiles, until 80 meter activity picks up in the evening. So to facilitate 80 meter daytime activity by the mobiles, during the daytime hours please keep 3545 KHz +/- 0,5 KHz or so clear for mobile stations. That way a mobile can make a brief appearance there,and be easily found by other stations. And likewise, if a fixed station can monitor or make frequent checks of 3545, any activity there will involve a mobile, and quite possibly be a new multiplier in a rare county. Once 80 meter propagation picks up in the evening, after 6 pm or so, this will not be so important. But during the day please keep 3545 clear for the mobiles. And hopefully you will be able to work a lot of them in a lot of Ohio counties! 73 - Jim K8MR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: What a great response we have had for operators! Keep it up! With the addition of W8UE mobile we are down to 2 counties needed to have all 88 counties covered for activity. A quick check of the planned activity list shows over 50 stations plan to be active (mobiles and rovers only counted once). This doesn't count the guys who will get on but haven't posted plans. Looks like we dodged a bullet on the coronal mass ejection as it appears to be not earth directed. Last minute plea to get mobiles, rovers, EOCs, club and home stations active. Anyone you know you can con, bribe, convince into operating will be great. Looks like we will have a great Ohio turn out. Per K8MR, we will be checking and transmitting on or near 3545 during the day on 80-sometimes the band is open for short stuff! Also, please spot any Ohio stations you hear-especially on SSB since skimmers don't do SSB! Final setup tmrw and hope all goes well for everyone this weekend!

All JACK and ATHE mobile, thus probably CW but may hit SSB for a few quickies. Other places we will stop and setup antenna. WASH is an "as time permits". ( BTW... W8HH will be on in WASH I think) Those ops are all "code impaired" so expect SSB from them and I'll try to get there and do CW. Van seems to be behaving....but a little prayer would not hurt.

July 2009: The ?Worked All Television Sets? Award Howdy from Joe?s Place? ?So many awards, so little time?? Doesn?t it seem like there?s a Ham radio award for about everything you can imagine? I just now did an internet search on ?Ham radio awards? and it returned over a million hits. It?s worse than I thought! I guess I?ll have to narrow things down a bit and concentrate on just one or two from now on. Meanwhile, I?m proud of the awards I have already earned. My favorite is WATV (Worked All TV Sets). That one was simple to achieve. I didn?t need fancy new equipment. (I used an old CB linear and a home brewed transmitter) I didn?t even need a receiver because I was able to ?work? the televisions without making actual contact with another Ham station. Application for that one was easy too. There were no wretched QSL?s required. You simply needed to have ten official complaints from your neighbors on file with the FCC. Best of all, the Feds provided the documentation for free. It just showed up in the mail, unsolicited. There are special endorsements for this award too. One is for proof of an actual home visit by an FCC employee. You need to provide the employee?s name and the date and time of his visit. Another is the coveted ?Cable TV Only? endorsement. That one takes some extra documentation. You need to prove that the televisions in question were only receiving signals from an authorized cable provider at the time they heard your station. The proof can be a billing statement or notarized letter from the cable company, showing that service was provided on the same date(s) that appear in the FCC complaints. Further evidence (photographic or otherwise) is required to prove that ?No means of receiving over-the-air signals was available on the date(s) in question.? A signed, notarized affidavit from a neighbor, testifying to the fact that there was ?no over-the-air signal reception? is also acceptable but such documentation has proven difficult to obtain, especially if you have been in recent ?contact? with the neighbor?s TV set. Well, maybe I?ve inspired some of you to pick out one of those one-million-plus awards and go after it. As for me, I?m now working on the IWE (I?ve Worked Everybody) award. Once earned, that one automatically qualifies you for every other award out there. Some think it?s cheating or laziness to be able to get all the other awards that way, but heck, it?s in the rules, so right or wrong, it?s legal, and that?s what counts. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Morton To: ohqp-mail Sent: Sat, Aug 25, 2018 8:33 am Subject: [OhQP-mail] Today is the day!

We are staying in a friends ?manufactured home? in Sarasota until our house is finished next month. I found a Hustler 6BTV at a local hamfest and set it up just for the OQP between housing units. The antenna is 6 feet from our unit and 10 feet from the next door neighbor. Even though I managed to put down around 15 ground radials, the TVI is horrendous. Apparently the neighborhood cable TV system is very old and has lot?s of issues with poor coax and grounding. The cable system appears to be a very good receiver/antenna for all bands 10 ? 80. There?s a good chance that I will wipe out TV for a whole lot of neighbors today! I?ll be on the air until somebody knocks on the door and tells me to quit?hihi. They must not have chased you off too soon, Steve?:-) I was happy to get you on CW on three bands in the contest.

Home antenna blew down a couple weeks ago, and haven't put it back up yet. Decided NOT to visit Ohio this year for several reasons, so was limited to a portable antenna on the back porch. Did figure a way to get on 80 meters, which will be a plus for my parks On The Air activations. 40 was a bust. Only a few stations were hear, and fewer stations could hear me. 80 was the "mother band" after I put a loading coil in series with my 28' sire antenna so my KX2's internal maching device could find a reasonable SWR.

The new laptop and separate monitor, keyboard and mouse worked solidly the whole contest. As per usual the first few hours were like pulling teeth. We dodged T storms for about the first 4 hours and then it gradually cleared up. Finally 40 seemed to open but we had few runs.80 was the place to be even during the day.Stopped for dinner for about 20 minutes and when we got back on bands seemed better. Then we ran into DETOURS, I mean detours ON detours. The Tom Tom didn?t pick up the first one and the second one it found and then promptly said there was a closed road on the detour it routed us on ($#@^) At this point I was lost and was hoping we were still in Ohio! All the while Ron kept asking if we were in a new county while operating. The NW corner of OHIO is very dark especially when there are no lights, new blacktop and traffic cones in weird configurations. Eventually we made it to Route 6 which IS on our route and the stopping point we planned put us back on track. We missed a few counties because of the detours. We had problems with the 80 meter Frankentenna with signals seeming to be distorted and buzzy. Thought it was condx but at a stop near the end we thought we fixed it after finding a bad connection on the tuning coil. Alas that was not it. Operated very little in Sandusky and none in Erie cty (sorry Vic!) because of the problem in hearing (SWR was just fine thanks!) On Sunday after Ron left I looked closer at the 80 meter antenna and found two tubing connections that were loose and one with the nut AND lock nut missing. All I can figure is the rain weight and vibration caused this so a redesign is in order. I?m gonna get this SOB to be stable sooner or later. All together missed about 1 hour of operating and Kudos to K8MR for his fine score. \ Thanks to everyone for the activity and effort under trying condx. 73 Dan W8CAR K8O with K8NZ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've not processed the log yet but it ain't no record year. Conditions so bad we were setting up in graveyards, photos later. That's why the bands were so dead I guess. SCIO a lot slow, PIKE awful slow, JACK much better, our best county by far but a lot of time there. Conditions good for daytime on 80/75; 40 and up pretty much non starters till 40 opened up great later in the event. VINT, ATHE, MEIG, WASH pretty much as usual with VINT slower than normal. Thank goodness the mobile setup worked so well. Nearly no RFI on 80, some on 40 but not enough to matter. With normal conditions 40 would have been a big band between sites. Looks like about 520 Q's, no idea how many mults but lots of Ohio counties and not so many states especially on SSB. de K8RYU -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Also...thank goodness that stations stayed on even though conditions in the early afternoon were so poor. Still lots of signals at the close of the party. If I did the count right, we had about 230 unique calls on CW and about 120 on fone. I don't know how that compares to previous years, but I'll try to do that count again next year as a measure of activity. No vehicle or Wx problems, just a few sprinkles at the Jackson County site, and the temp was very acceptable compared to previous years.
