Thanks to all who worked hard to make this a fun event.
 

Call: KA3LOC/0 (Kansas)
 
Counties = 40
 
160/80 CW = 0  (The only sound heard on these bands was static)
CW  = 55     (20m & 40m)
SSB = 31      (20m)
 
Total QSO = 4540 
Bonus = 800 (4 x 200)
QRP x2
Total QSO points =  4540 x 40 x 2 = 9080 + 800 = 9,880
 
Band conditions were poor. My score is way down from previous years. Heard  
many mid-west and west coast stations talking to PA stations but not the PA  
station.  Had considered increasing power to 100 watts but only a few  station I 
could hear could not hear me, so stuck with the QRP. The FT-817 &  G5RV Plus 
@ 55' worked well.
 

Best 73 & may the Love Of Christ be with  you,
Ric, KA3LOC
