[OhQP-mail] NS8O in Meigs

[Greg Weinfurtner]

Hi all,
         What a great time in OHQP for a change!  There was good weather, 
propagation was fairly good and thanks to the rovers for all their hard 
work, man got a bunch of mults because of them. Someone give them a gold 
star...

START-OF-LOG: v2.0
CREATED-BY: GenLog v6.65
LOCATION: MEIG
CONTEST: OH-QSO-PARTY
CALLSIGN: NS8O
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP HIGH
CLAIMED-SCORE: 27720
OPERATORS: NS8O

Had an interesting run on 20 CW that afternoon from the west coast and 
south; even a DX!  23 Q's in 27 minutes; it was like I was DX or 
something.... But the band was dead when I went to check it later.  And 
that was about 5PM or so.  No action on 15 at all.

80 seemed to be the band of choice at least here in SE Ohio. I was running 
HP to a 3/8 wave (96 feet each leg) dipole on 80  (3/4 wave dipole on 40 
and 3/16 wave on 160) with a tuner. Works well because the resistance and 
reactance is low on all bands and the losses are low according to 
calculations.

40 Meters was long and worked a lot of states there. I had chores to do but 
managed to convince XYL that this was an important contest.  She just said 
OK. My jaw dropped.  Worked from 1604 UTC up til 0057 UTC (Noon til 8:57 E 
time) or so and then I just died!  Looking forward to next year and will 
try to give out more of Meigs.  I did not work ONE ATHENS county where 
there are about 200 hams... what's up with that?  Nor any other Meigs or 
Vinton counties, all three of which have active clubs.

OK CU all next year,
