[WIQPmail] 2024 WI QSO Party Excel workbook

[Scott Zastoupil]

 Good call to put a rare county on the air....Kewaunee 

K0PC and KX9RT will put WOOd county on the air today via CW.  Come get 'em.  Watch APRS, cluster, and Reverse Beacon Network.
Scott, kx9rt

 Thank you for this very useful tool.  Based on this,  K9TIT will be skipping Wood county in order to make sure we can get into Kewaunee as we'd be the only station for that county. 
We will be operating ssb on 80-10m. 
Thanks, TimKC9FSH

Hello WI QSO participants. . . 
 
 
You may be familiar with the Excel contesting tools I create. These help with planning county coverage in the MN and FL QSO Parties. These can be used by mobile and rover stations plan their routes and help boost activity in the lesser represented counties. During the Party, out-of-state operators use this tool to boost their chance of making a "Sweep" of all counties.
 
 
Unfortunately I have been out of town and could not create a WIQP tool until this evening. I have quickly reviewed the reflector postings of planned routes for tomorrow. I will attach a copy of the Excel file to this message. If the reflector does not support attachments, I will post another message with a link for downloading.
 
 
When I reviewed the spreadsheet I found 13 counties have not been registered. They are: Crawford, Door, Florence, Forrest, Grant, Iowa, La Crosse, Lafayette, Manitowoc, Marinette, Richland, Sauk, and Vernon. Maybe fixed stations will activate these tomorrow and provide the opportunity for a "Sweep" this year.
 
There are 19 counties that only one mobile operator will activate. The spreadsheet will show you who that is, and when to expect them. Likewise, 20 counties have two mobile operator activations so you at least get a "second chance" if you miss the first opportunity to get those counties in you log.
 
 
With the emphasis on QSO Parties this year, and with improving propagation, 2024 could be a banner year for the WI QSO Party.
