QSO parties are one of my favorite activities and are largely the reason that I was able to get WAS. I’m glad Ohio is one of the more active ones. Those of us in the Delaware Amateur Radio group always look forward to putting up a big score and I hope that other clubs and individuals in the state enjoy it as much as we do. It would be super neat to do a rover through the less-populated counties; maybe someday.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And Steve, I remember hearing you pretty well last August with my rather low-level station so you being barefoot isn’t hurting you too much. Anyway, good luck with the amp.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

There are a lot of other folks out there that should take a lesson or two on how to throw a State QSO Party. Just because you pick a date and time for a State QSO Party doesn’t mean that there will be much activity. Take a look at the 3830 Reflector and view the results from some of the other states to get an idea of how well the OHQP organizers have managed to get activity and participation. Well done gents.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">I would also like to thank the mobiles and rovers for their efforts.
