Well I made it there as promised but didn't do as well as I liked. I heard both
the Grump and WA3AAT from Franklin but didn't get Ray or my pal Ted.
Heard K3AIR/m once but there must have been other mobiles really out there. I
didn't work any others. I did manage a few CW contacts on 75 but couldn't get
anyone I could copy answering my CW attempts on 20 or 40. I did make a bunch of
SSB qsos and although some were very hard I rewarded most everyone with the
Fulton Multiplier.
I operated about 4.5 hours mobile today. If you needed Fulton and missed me
shame on you. Sometimes I try 10 or more minutes to be heard in a string of
stations calling some big signal stations. Suprisingly I worked the
Westmoreland Bonus Station on 2 Bands. 40 was tough but 75 was easy as they
called me!
I think I worked around 36 multipliers in my one county mobile effort today.
Far as I know, I'll still head out to Juniata for the first few hours of the
Contest tomorrow. I understand that Mifflintown has a Burger King so perhaps I
can catch a meal before heading home-Hi. Hopefully more stations will hear me
tomorrow. Depending how I feel about the Juniata operation, I may stop in an
additional county on the way home. Maybe I can find Ted or the Grump then and
say I worked Franklin.
