[PaQSO] The Contest 2011

[Hank Greeb]

Shucky Durn:

I was able to find W3USA mobile numerous times, and K8MR twice, once or 
twice even on SSB.  Working a contest with SSB mobile on 75 metres @ 
night is not for one with a faint heart.

I didn't even think to read about the "preferred" frequency for mobiles.

That K8MR could copy my peanut whistle from Michigan is a compliment to 
RFI reduction from automobile ignition and other local sources, plus 
operator skill.

73 de n8xx Hg

We can't enforce it, there is no legal issue involved, and not everyone is using a frequency agile logging program. I've operated mobile a number of years, and I don't even seek out the windows. I either search and pounce, or find a place to settle in and run. A fairly recent happening is that I QSO with someone who then very generously gives up the frequency so that I can run in some rare county. Wow, I guess that's why we call ourselves the friendly QSO party!
