I had a great time last year operating the QSO Party from the home QTH. I was prompted by the W3AI guys Charles and Lamar.

If one were to launch a rover effort, what might be the best counties to put on the air?

I'm looking at:

Schuykill County

and

Northumberland

as choices.

Any opinions?

If you can jump in a time machine and go back to last October, I vote 
for Northumberland.  It was the only one I missed.

Wherever  you go, have fun and hope to work you a lot of times.

Might as well let the group know that WQ3N is planning to go portable to
Northumberland County this year.  If things go as planned it won't be a rare
county this year.

Dan, 

check out my PA QSO Party stats site at www.Kd8mq .net . Look for the link at the top right marked pqp.

I think that may be what you're looking for.

John (KD8MQ),

Yes, that will be a great help. The two counties I mentioned could be 
relatively easy for me to get to. It looks like WQ3N might be there as well, 
but I'm not sure if they plan to pass through or operate for an extended 
period.

I'm going to see if I can operate using the No. Penn ARC call, W3BTN, 
although W3AI was also suggested. I already have a victim, I mean a 
volunteer to help with the operation.

Remember, we only have six months to plan this, hihi.

73 all,

Dan WA3NFV

Yes, the lower the number, the rarer the county.

Some of you may have noticed that the records are not included in this year?s results. 

That is because they are getting a major overhaul. There are new classes that aren?t included, and some old classes that ended up needing split up. The good news is there will be more records, therefore more targets.

I?m expecting some time in the spring to have that task finished.
