I got back on Sunday morning to work the second session of the PA QSO Party. My heart really wasn’t in it, though, and I quit about an hour later. One reason is that I had no chance at all of being the highest Michigan scorer. I heard one station, W8MJ, who, at 9:15 am, sent a PA station a serial number 554!
One strange thing was the number of out-of-state stations calling CQ PAQP. I counted a half dozen, and even tried it myself for a while with some success.
Despite my lack of enthusiasm, I ended the contest on an upnote. I was tuning around for my 50th QSO, when I heard a big pileup. Reasoning that this was a new PA station, I listened until I copied his call, and then jumped into the fray. He came back to me on my first call. After working him, I shut down for the day.
