Contests For Consideration


 

Mac and Joe have opened a conversation about contests.

Here are contests during our stay at PEI DX LODGE. I put in bold those that look interesting.? Any you'd like to bold?

Which of these (all of them, not just bold) are you interested in going after?

Well as mentioned before, the only contest that I'm interested in is the Lightship and Lighthouse weekend with a goal of contacting the Lightship Columbia.? I'm an operator on it and home to work the ship from the opposite coast.?

I'm mostly interested in Field ops and satellite communications, assuming that Ev will again try to educate me. ?

This evening I'm laying out my radio gear. Just the KX2 and associated stuff. It presently looks like more that I had imagined. More on that topic later.

I “might” take a stab at the “Walk for the Bacon, QRP ’test’ (Wednesday 9PM-10PM ADT) if I feel strong and awake. 11 to midnight Thursday is a stretch.
Maybe try the FISTS Sunday sprint but the speed will probably be more than I can handle/copy.

For the ILLW event I will probably just play part time from the field at a lighthouse somewhere. Not sure which one (or two) yet, but probably one on the southern coast. Probably do a swing by to say “Hello" at the VY2PLH event.

For the NAQP I may operate from the field as a QRP station since it runs during the ILLW event.

The other events (Hawaii, Kansas, Ohio QSO Parties and W/VE Islands), who knows. Depends on WX and whether I want power or am happy with QRP.

All the above may be influenced by the desires of the ‘ladies in the house’ as well.

I will have a semi-final list of my kit out shortly.
