[PaQSO] 63 Down, 4 to Go

[Ron Notarius]

Just got back a little bit ago from W4ZE's.  Hard to believe the day went by so quickly; you look forward all year, and before you know it, it's over.  (At least it is for me, have to go to work all day tomorrow)

When I left Ted's tonight, we had 63 of 67 counties worked.  That's a tie for the closest I've ever been to completing a sweep on Saturday, and the last time, family events intervened & I ended up short.  I know UNI was one, don't recall the other three.  But I'm confident that W4ZE (who's running the station solo on Sunday, the rest of us couldn't make it) will get the job done.

Was it my imagination, or was 40 just a little strange this year?  Didn't hear as many PA stations as I expected.

In any event:  Had a great time, alongside W4ZE, W3RJM & WO3Z.  Enjoyed picking up quite a few counties, working the WASH club stations (N3SH / Mercer & WA3SH / Fayette) and a bunch of others, and hearing all the familiar calls from the past.  Thanks to all who were out there; next year can't come too soon!
