  Score includes bonus points. Thanks to Texas for the nice contest. 20 meters was up and down the whole weekend, sometimes even the Fixed stations were hard to work with my dipole, missed a lot of counties the first day due to this. 40 was crappy during da...

  This weekend was the Hesston College Centennial Celebration, so instead of running as a Texas mobile, I enjoyed the TQP from the "other side" as time permitted. Up until a few days before the TQP, I was planning to leave out Saturday morning and arrive in...

  I always hear Texas real loud so I thought I would run 5 watts for a change. Only missed a couple I tried for but running was a real test of patience! Harry, VA3EC...

  We had planned on not operating the whole time but ended up doing so anyway although not to full potential. What I mean is many times we got up and walked away from an operating position for an extended period of time. We even quit operating on 20ssb for ...

  Casual one+ two part time op effort here. Kinda a fun contest though. Will try to go more seriously next year. Scott Straw, KB4KBS, wrote a nice article in QST about the station this month and operated most of the contest (when I didn't make him stand dow...

  We enjoyed the well-run railroad comment by K3TN -- and John didn't even see the red headlamps that K5OT and W5ZL donned after dark. However the well-run railroad got seriously off the track at the beginning of Saturday and if it hadn't been for the pers...

  Murphy visited early and often. My station took a direct lightning strike last month which destroyed all antennas on the tower. So we started with one tri-bander on a 30 foot trailer/tower and another tri-bander on a 15 foot pole, plus a 40-80 dipole at 3...

  Score includes 13,500 mobile bonus points. 20 was up and down with no mobile readable all the time. RTTY QRM on 40 was atrocious. Top mobiles were NO5W-33, N5NA-23, K5YAA-19, K5WAF-19, K0RU-17 and WW5X-16. Always one of the best Parties. 73... John, N6MU...

  First off a BIG THANKS to my wife, K5AKS, for driving me all over west Texas this weekend, a total of 855 miles!

  Wow, what a blast! This is the first time I've operated both days in the QSO party. I usual...

  A tremendous time again in one of my favorite contests. During peak hours the adrenaline really flows with some big pileups, especially on Saturday afternoon. The only thing better is to operate from some exotic DX locale, but being in the target state do...

  Had intentions of operating a lot more but out of town relatives and going to the UT football game took precedence. Conditions seemed very good....

  A total swag on the score. Did my little loop starting two miles from home on a hill just inside Travis county and then drove through Hays into Blanco and into Gillespie. Then on a lovely rural road from Stonewall to Blanco passing back into Blanco, then ...
