You guys might get record numbers of hams. With so many stuck at home. I usually work your QSO party after work on Saturday . But no work tomorrow our Forest service Visitor Center is Closed tell mid May so will spend the day chasing counties in VA.
This was great. I didn't make too many contacts, running QRP, but still had a good time. My wife was happy to get rid of me for a few hours too! Everyone seemed friendly, I guess Virginia really is for lovers. This weekend it was for ham radio lovers. Thanks for the contest, it came at just the right time.
I dropped by for some fun on 40 and 80 meters. No big effort 55 contacts in 38 counties. It was more of a "laid back" contest, nothing wrong with that. Never knew Va had so many counties.
Total bust for me. I loaded up a fresh N1MM log for it and couldn't find any VA stations through all the S9+20 "CQ TEST" (everyone except Russians working the Russian contest?) and the S9+20 RTTYers clogging up everything in between. Sorry, I got frustrated and turned off. Maybe next year. Too many contests these days...
