[PaQSO] PA3ARM IN 2003 PA PARTY

[Harry van Enckevort]

Hello there,

Just want to let U know mi results (raw score) es some comments re this
year's party. It was after 2000 es 2001 mi 3rd PA party es agn I had
lots of fun. 
Too bad I missed 2002 (other commitments  - believe/remember well  the
prop was excellent then?) but think propagation was gud this year as
well.
Operate hr wid wire entennas  es 100W CW only es also work fer the
USA-CA.  Still needed to work
CRAWFORD/FAYETTE/MIFFLIN/POTTER/SUSQUEHANNA ES WYOMING prior to the
start .  Worked MIFF (tks Stan) es WYO (tks N3KAE ..crew?) but never hrd
the other ones (believe) Had gud hope Hal W3USA/m wud go to SUS there on
Sunday when I worked him in Wayne es half an hour later in Lackwanna but
may have missed him between in ? !  hi ....tks all the other incredible
mobiles es the /R's  es the /P's  fer all the effort !!!!!!!!!  Very
very nice party which I enjoyed a lot despite of two bad periods wid
lack of concentration es lack in "tuning" (16.30 / 18.30Z both days)
caused by lack of sleep in the past days/weeks?  As a casual contester
this is not unusual here ; I mean havning the "bad"periods  hi hi  Think
shud have checked 10m more on Sunday ; only 1 contact there wid K3KWH
strong !  
Went to bed early after 12  40m contacts 
Yet made more contacts then in any other party since 2000 but exactly
the same number of mults as in 2001 (even more contacts than CA 2001 ;
apart from the County Hunter CW contest in May)   

The fun counts es I had it agn !!!!!

Raw score :
CW QSO's  124 
Dupes 2
QSO points 122 x 1.5
Mults	     51
K2KWH 2x
Total 	9733
