It is called a QSO Party, is it not? Salmon Run has several round tables on various frequencies (bands) where rare counties (and rovers) stop in regularly to give many stations a chance to work them. Mobile stations break the round table and may work 50 stations in one sitting. Very often there are 5 to 10 of the4 rare counties on at one time - and if they QSY, they leave a frequency they plans to go to - and times they plan to be somewhere else. AND this then becomes a defacto spotting net.

If you are spotted chances are<br>> slim, because I have not yet figured out how to pull them out!<br>><br>> However, if you are not spotted, chances are very much thinner, because<br>> when I learn, you will not be there!<br>><br>> If the rules are changed to encourage spotting, your PARTY will be that<br>> much more fun for the participant who is at the PARTY for FUN! It is called<br>> a QSO Party, is it not? Salmon Run has several round tables on various<br>> frequencies (bands) where rare counties (and rovers) stop in regularly to<br>> give many stations a chance to work them. Mobile stations break the round<br>> table and may work 50 stations in one sitting. Very often there are 5 to 10<br>> of the4 rare counties on at one time - and if they QSY, they leave a<br>> frequency they plans to go to - and times they plan to be somewhere else.<br>> AND this then becomes a defacto spotting net.

A couple have projected<br>schedules. I know that is not spotting and APRS, but maybe that<br>information may affect route choices. For a rover rookie such as myself, I<br>have great flexibility on where I go, being interested in activating<br>counties more than killing the score.<br><br>I was planning on doing some of the west central WI counties (Wood,<br>Clark...) but could easily divert to the south west or south central. Heck<br>based on last years results, Ozaukee was a tough get.<br><br>My only limitation is to have a starting point 2-3 hours away from<br>Milwaukee. That puts me on the road at 8:00 or 9:00 and lets me wind my<br>way back home as the contest progresses. So, no far north counties for<br>me.
