[PaQSO] why more dx interest than west coast?

[Cliff Frescura]

>> I have heard it mentioned that there is not much interest in the PAQP
because you (we) tend to stay on 40m and 80m most of the time and don't give
the left coast a chance to work many PA stations.

That has been my experience here in Los Angeles.  Although I last worked the
PQP 6 years ago, the only band that was good was 20m.  Heard plenty of
stations on 40 and 80, but hard to bust through the wall of W3/W2/W8
stations working PA.

Searching the 3830 archives I found my old score from 2007

Summary:
 Band  CW Qs  Ph Qs  RTTY Qs  PSK31 Qs

  160:                             
   80:           3                 
   40:           2                 
   20:          70                 
   15:           2                 
   10:                             
    6:                             
    2:

I have heard it mentioned that there is not much interest in the PAQP
because you (we) tend to stay on 40m and 80m most of the time and don't give
the left coast a chance to work many PA stations. I had a hard time leaving
40m when the rates were so high but when they slowed down I was surprised to
get several QSOs on a seemingly dead 15m band. Made me wonder what would
have happened if I spent prime hours there.
