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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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..??</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Dave K9TY</div><div dir="auto">WIQP from pota K-9842 Footville Wildlife Area</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:12px;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Galaxy</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Joe via WIQP-Mail <wiqp-mail@warac.org> </div><div>Date: 3/11/24 5:22 PM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: Wisconsin QSO Party Reflector <wiqp-mail@warac.org> </div><div>Cc: Joe <nss@mwt.net> </div><div>Subject: Re: [WIQPmail] Upper Bands </div><div><br></div></div>

I understand there are more mults to be grabbed on 80/40 for the
Wisconsin Stations.<br>
Just seems like the contest is a WIQP, and only for Wisconsin
Stations.<br>

I did the upper bands as much as possible, but the RUNS were
just not there to be had.<br>
