[PaQSO] The Contest 2011

[Matthew Steger]

Funny.. I never heard W3USA at all yet I seem to work them 3 or 4 times
every other year.

Did anyone notice that there appeared to be no County Line stations this
year?

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.

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!
