[PaQSO] CQ vrs S&P

[John Getz]

I concur with Dave, WN4AFP, that there were a lot of out of state stations
calling CQ for PA contacts.  I was one of the callers.  With this being a
two day contest, you just run out of PA stations to work and need to
attract the casual PA ops that only do S&P.  There was also a shortage of
PA mobiles to work.  I think PA should be a one day contest.  It would be
easier for the mobile stations so more mobile stations would come out.
More mobiles to chase means out of station stations don't have to call CQ
as much as new counties and contacts are always becoming available.  I'd be
interested in hearing what others think about making PA a one day contest.
