[WIQPmail] WiQP County Activation Overview

[Jon Platt]

Great Larry.   I did not see your earlier post.  This should knock CAL and OZA out of the Very Rare category to just Rare.   I think that it also means that all Wisconsin counties plan to be visited by at least one mobile.

    I sent out our KD9CSI county route a few days ago.  I do not know    why it was not included in the latest listing of mobile units.   We    will be multi-op, multi-station mobile with voice on 75, 40 & 20    meters and 146.55 MHz, starting in Portage county and traveling    through 15 counties, in total.
    
    That includes CAL, MIL, OUT and OZA.
    
    We will send out an APRS trail as KD9CSI-6.

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.
