[ILQSO] AJ9C/m

[Mike Kasrich]

I thought about the KJ v. AJ problem and came to the same solution.  It 
appears some stations did not print a list of activity before the 
contest as people had trouble with aj9c/m when I said mobile they got a 
phoentic for "M" and started calling the Juliet Mike Charlie 
station....I just cant quite get it!  I did stay /m one county at a time 
so that is a hint for you folks out there.  If you got 2 or more 
counties it was Mel.  If it was just one then me.

20 for the first hour didnt do much but picked up for the next two 
counties and then died.  40 cw was where I spent most of the time.  I 
made on 40 ssb contact and was ignored the rest of the time by what few 
stations were on.  Hardly worth the time to move the whip.  I made 5 75m 
ssb qsos one (K4BAI bless you sir) answered my cq.

Not sure about the mults but I counted 219 qsos from 9 counties.  Ran a 
little behind and Didnt make it to Crawford and only hit Richland for 
the last 15 mins of the contest.

More to follow.
