KN4RRQ |
Hey Folks,
Tom Moates KN4RRQ from Floyd County here. Just a
note to say I plan to be operating my home station on CW
only during the VA QSO Party, 100 watts, 160, 80, 40,
15, and 10 meters. I understand from the Floyd
club that our county is somewhat rare, and I may be the
only non-roving CW op here, so I hope to be on when and
as possible and help get those counties covered. |

Sunday from CITY OF SALEM (SAX) 100 ssb 80 40 20m 73 Fred de KW4FM |

My primary antenna will be an AS-2259-style NVIS
antenna cut for 40m and 80m. I may also experiment with
other bands and antennas. SSB only.

WD4FMG |
Greetings I plan to be active from Chesterfield County during the contest as WD4FMG. I haven�t decided yet whether I will be mixed or just SSB. Last year a lot of folks thought the abbreviation for Chesterfield CHE was actually Chesapeake. After a few times it became apparent that those using Scott�s N3FJP software were told that CHE was Chesapeake. Is it possible to make him aware of the needed county abbreviation correction or should I write him? Looking forward to the contest, Lauren, WD4FMG |
WY7AA | I am planning to operate from WIS, SCO, LEE
counties as an Expedition station on Saturday for the VA QSO
Party. I will likely be operating SSB only, but
possibly PSK31 as well. No details yet on where I will be operating from, but I will be there. 73 R.J. WY7AA |
