Yesterday, I worked another “two-fer.” That is, I made some contacts in both the West Virginia QSO Party and the Quebec QSO Party, which were taking place on nearly the same frequencies.
Actually, I wasn’t even thinking about contesting yesterday. I spent the afternoon making antennas for Field Day. (More about that later.)
After playing with antennas most of the afternoon, I had to run out to the grocery store and make dinner. Then, of course, I had to eat, so I didn’t get down to the shack until 7:30 pm. Tuning around 7.035, I heard stations calling both “CQ WVQP” and “CQ QQP.” Unfortunately, I only had about two and a half hours to work the WV QSO Party as it ended at 10 pm. Before it ended, I was able to work eleven WV stations overall.
The Quebec QSO Party lasted longer, but there were fewer stations on from Quebec. I made eight contact overall. And in between all those contest QSOs, I managed a few regular contacts, including YY5AJD from Venezuela.
