On Saturday May 2nd, members of the Coos County Radio Club gathered at Gary N6BLU’s home to participate in the 7 Area QSO party. The goal to make as many contacts with other stations as possible during the 18 hour period of 6AM to Midnight.
Nine Operators took to the airwaves and made 583 contacts covering all 50 states, 8 Canadian Provinces, and 5 continents. Three radios were in use at any given time and 5 different bands were utilized to make the contacts. Below is a screenshot showing the final tally. Note the top entry which was the last contact before Midnight. Great job Tina Edwards KI7GOE for grabbing a Canary Islands Station in the last minute.
Thanks to all that came out and participated to made this a very successful event. It’s your club so let this serve as motivation to get involved and come play radio with us.
The next events are Tour De Fronds Bike Ride in Powers followed by Field Day in Bandon. Stay tuned!
