[WIQPmail] Upper Bands

[davek9ty]

I ran from my car down in Rock county from a park (so POTA and QP at same time). Started on 40m ssb and expected to possibly stay there, but after a promising start, couldn't make more contacts. Did get 21 counties in and a few states.Tried 10m quick...no replies. Went to 20m ssb, found a barely clear spot and had at it. Pota draw did the trick..had some nice pileups. Could only work until a bit past 3pm, so for just a couple hours 175 Q's and most on 20. Was fun collecting state and province mults, but... if 40 is good, one can collect more counties AND states/provinces. So i think conditions will drive behavior.  If there were a bonus for X number if state/provinces, then folks might be encouraged to try upper bands, at least for awhile..??Dave K9TYWIQP from pota K-9842 Footville Wildlife AreaSent from my Galaxy

      I wonder how we can promote more
        Wisconsin Stations to operate on 20 and up more.
        I understand there are more mults to be grabbed on 80/40 for the
        Wisconsin Stations.
        Just seems like the contest is a WIQP, and only for Wisconsin
        Stations.
        
        I did the upper bands as much as possible, but the RUNS were
        just not there to be had.
