[KL7AA] [AK-Contesters] State QSO parties

[Allen R. Brier]

My guess it is because most state QSO parties are based on working counties
and having lots of rovers criss-crossing the state activating them. Not an
easy task in Alaska, and not that many counties. Some other sort of special
event (like the KL5O event we did a few years ago) might work and in fact,
we had a lot of activity from that one. One idea might be to join the 7QP
(7th area QSO Party) somehow. Otherwise, it seems pretty hard to come up
with KL7 multipliers. Do you (or anyone on these lists) have any ideas how
we could make an interesting KL7 QSO party? I would love to hear them.

Anyone know why Alaska is the only state not to have its own QSO party
contest?
