The NEQP is a fun contest. We give thanks to Tom K1KI, Group members and the YCCC home team and all who participated and supported the operations this year. There are several score posts on 3830 supporting CTRI. It’s a little early but appears we have our net ready to catch the club plaque again this year. Thank you! If you are interested in extreme NEQP mobile operation check out Gerry W1VE’s post on 3830.
For W1DX/m below are the statistics for our 2 day, 12 county rover tour. Note that we did only 1 SSB contact. We sensed activity was down from last year. The first day particularly was a slow one. We wondered where was everybody? Watching the Kentucky Derby?
On a down side. Murphy did find us. A few computer lockups occured. He apparently is enjoying his welcoming home in Windows 10.
