SOAB LP CW
65–30–3900, actually 7800. 2h45m op time. 60 watts to doublet at 50 ft.
Well, I take back what I said about good propagation, and I see also I had the mults incorrect also, of course it is once per mode, not per band. In any case, it was a 2 band activity. Saturday I got beat out a lot even running 60 watts or so. However, with patience I worked a lot of weak stations. I never found N4V. (but who was looking?) After posting my score to 3830, I realized I didn’t multiply my score by 2 for being LP. I think Andy BX also forgot this bonus. So we were lower down than we needed to be 🙂 Fun anyway. I heard only W1WBB among members. — Dave

Missed 40m nighttime activity so few QSOs there; all 40m Q’s made last 1hr 30m of contest (2030z-2200z). Worked SSB just for mults/hunting 1×1 FQP calls. Primarily made CW contacts due to higher point value (double) vs. SSB.
I’ve been a participant in this year’s inaugural State QSO Party Challenge event [see separate scoreboard link on 3830scores.com homepage], so have been active in many of the QPs to date … great activity in this FQP! Expect a lot of folks on-air during New Engl QSO Party this weekend. Good luck/have fun! 73, Bill W1WBB
