[WIQPmail] WiQP County Activation Overview

[Jon Platt]

A spreadsheet of all the mobile postings shows 12 mobiles making 144 county visits.  All counties have at least one mobile visit except for these four: CAL, MIL, OUT, and OZA.  Looking at Tom's spreadsheet of county activation over the last three years shows lots of fixed station Q's from two of these four counties; MIL and OUT.   Looking at the other two counties, last year CAL and OZA had 0 and 23 fixed Q's respectively.  So if anyone is looking to activate a potentially rare county this year it may be CAL and OZA.  

There are 23 counties with just one mobile visit.  Of these 23 counties, those counties that have had historically a low number of fixed station Q's (based on Tom's spreadsheet) are BUF, CLA, DOO, MEN, TRE, and WAU.   For those mobiles visiting these six counties there is a chance that you may be the only station there.

There are 22 counties that have two mobile visits.  Of these 22 counties, those counties that have had historically a low number of fixed station Q's are ADA, CRA, FLO, FOR, JAC, LAN, MRQ, PRI, RIC, SHA and TAY.    

The following counties have the most number of mobile visits of four each: BAR, COL, LIN, MAR, ONE, POL, SAU, and VIL.

So in summary:

Very Rare:  CAL, OZA
Rare:          BUF, CLA, DOO, MEN, TRE, and WAU
Hard:          ADA, CRA, FLO, FOR, JAC, LAN, MRQ, PRI, RIC, SHA and TAY


Of course, YMMV.  Good luck to all the mobiles, be safe.
