[WIQPmail] All WI stations are 9’s

[Robert Lunsford]

I feel your pain!  Traveled to WI twice now for the contest and jump over in to IN and down the KY almost every year.  Throws folks off when I give my county with an 8 in my call.  On CW usually "CQ TEST KB8UEY/(insert county abbreviation here)" helps.  On SSB it is "CQ (insert state) QSO Party, in (insert state) from KB8UEY".  Most catch on, but there is always that one guy telling me what QRZ says.

I had a couple of top ten finishes in WIQP several years ago but I have a handicap particularly on cw with my 8 call.  I got K8ZZV from the FCC 60 years ago and I hate to give it up but it’s not the best call for operating in a contest from Wisconsin.  So if you hear me calling CQ in the contest...I’m in Wisconsin!

Thanks,  Ken, K8ZZV, La Valle, WI, formerly pre 1969 Menominee, MI.
