As I mentioned at the SPARC meeting last month, if you use N1MM, a really cool sister program is Mult Chaser, which will display all your worked mults on a map of VA in real time. I used it with N1MM in the Minnesota QSO Party, and will use it for the VAQP. You can also map your mults for any past contests you have in N1MM, so I did do a map of my last year's VAQP log (as I showed at the meeting). Here's where you can download the app: Mult Chaser Map display for N1MM https://sites.google.com/site/korkowp1/mult-chaser-help -chaser-help - Eric, AJ4LN

Henry & Gordon -- Thanks, guys! I have forwarded your list of Canadian provinces to K1GQ, author of SkookumLogger for the Mac, which is the contest logging program I will be using in the upcoming QSO Party. He has added the VA QSO Party to the suite of events SkookumLogger supports (except for the Bonus Points, which users will have to add manually in their score calculation), so if anyone asks you if you know of a suitable contest logging program for the Mac, you can refer them to: http://k1gq.com/SkookumLogger/index.html Thanks again!

Gordon,
Ah, great! I see someone else has already posted and looks like they will be doing a lot of the same counties, except on the opposite day. That works out great.
Here's my plan for mobiling:
Day one of VAQP:
Halifax (HAL)Gordon,
Ah, great! I see someone else has already posted and looks like they will be doing a lot of the same counties, except on the opposite day. That works out great.
Here's my plan for mobiling:
Day one of VAQP:
Charlotte (CHA)
Prince Edward (PRE)
Cumberland (CUM)
Powhatan (POW)
Amelia (AME)
Nottoway (NOT)
Dinwiddie (DIN)
Sussex (SUS)
South Hampton (SHA)
Emporia (EMX)
Greensville (GVL)
Brunswick (BRW)
Lunenurg (LUN)
Mecklenburg (MEC)
Day two of VAQP:
Danville (DAX)
Pittsylvania Co. (PIT)
Martinsville (MVX)
Henry Co. (HRY)
Patrick Co. (PAT)
Floyd Co. (FLO)
Montgomery Co. (MON)
Radford City (RAX)
Pulaski (PUL)
Wythe (WYT)
Bland (BLA)
I haven't timed everything out, so I may not get to ones at the end of the list on each day if I run out of time. I do plan to sit and operate some from each county I get to. I'll have the traditional APRS on every once in a while, though the coverage might not be that great. We'll have most of the bands from 80m to 2m going and chasing propagation.
Hope to catch you on the air!
-Kevin,
KJ4OAP

Hope to do well, the NC QSO party was a good warm-up, 435 contacts on 40 meters.
