[OKDXA] OK QSO Party

[Jerry Chouinard]

Many logs already rolling in for this year's Party.  Looks like we had a 
good turn out from in state stations again this year from logs received so far.

Completed 900 miles of territory across 22 counties this year.  I think I 
saw enough of the panhandle for a while however.  Not too many towers out 
there and even fewer trees!

The mobile again this year was a Dodge Caravan with 3 hamstiks on the 
roof.  (40, 20 and 15)  2 radios - a TS850 powered by a marine battery and 
an ICOM 706 MKII.  All CW work was on the 850 and SSB on the 706.  Hand 
sending (bug) and paper logging.  Noise levels weren't too bad except along 
a few roads with power lines on both sides.  Quite a few DX stations in the 
log.

Will try and post a few photos and the rest of the story on the web site.
