Another fun time driving through NW Wisconsin. We should drive the same<br>
route when there are leaves on the trees and no distractions from the<br>
radio. It really is beautiful country. For once, Murphy did not pay a<br>
visit...unless you count the time that the power cable to the old XP laptop<br>
(with almost no battery) wiggled loose and we didn't notice until the<br>
computer shut down!<br>
<br>
Highlights - three QSOs with Laci OM2VL in the Slovak Republic, two on 40<br>
and one on 80. I can't believe working that far on 80 meter mobile given<br>
the totally inefficient Hustler vertical and tiny ground plane. He must<br>
have a great antenna AND especially great ears. Another first was being<br>
called on 20 meters by JO7WXN. In 12 years of Mn and WI mobile QSO parties<br>
I have never been called by Japan. Most QSOs by callsign: NU0Q 10 (Iowa),<br>
AF8A 8 (Ohio), K9CW 8 (Illinois), plus multiple people at 7.<br>
<br>
Taty only operated about 30 min on SSB but just couldn't get anyone to hear<br>
her so she turned the radio back to me. She can't wait for the sunspots to<br>
return and make possible a repeat of her first WiQP experience when she<br>
operated the entire 7 hour contest on 40 SSB without ever touching the VFO.<br>
<br>
The last hour was the best with 92 QSOs - at times it was a wall of sound,<br>
nearly all zero beat - all while barreling down some lesser traveled road<br>
with the computer bouncing and causing typos in the callsign or report and<br>
causing my finger to hit the wrong F-Key macro. It is a real trip (excuse<br>
the pun).<br>
<br>
The day concluded with what has become a WiQP tradition, dinner at<br>
Tippycanoe's in Osceola with Mark WA0MHJ and XYL Julie. Mark didn't<br>
operate mobile in Wisconsin this year because of his Covid vaccine at 3pm<br>
in Duluth. As he puts it: "I made it to POLK county with three minutes<br>
left in the contest, and no radio".<br>
<br>
Here is the breakdown of our score:<br>
