Hello,
Sorry for the last minute post. I'm finally able to
make a "hair-on-fire" plan. I'm planning to operate in the
following counties during the VAQP:
SATURDAY
YOR, WMX, JAM, CCY, HCO, HAN, KWM, KQN, ESS, MID,
GLO, MAT, NNX
SUNDAY
NNX, PQX, HAX, NFX, VBX, CPX, POX, SUX, IOW, SUR
I'll default to 40m, most likely. But will also
operate on 20m, 10m, 6m, 2m, and 70cm if someone tells me
that they have the bands available. As always, plans are
subject to change (shorten the list) as time allows.
73,

lost in the spam:

Good morning, Please add to the Announced Operations page for the 2024 VA QSO Party: the Roanoke Valley Amateur Radio Club will be operating as W4CA from Bath County (Douthat State Park). Thanks! Darrell KI4LLA |
| W4GO | VA QSO Party Admins,
I
feel very fortunate to have been able to do full-time
mobile runs in the previous six years of this event,
making a total of 9896 QSOs in the process. And I feel
even more fortunate to still be happily married after
doing so!
Therefore,
I will be taking a break this year in order to look
after our kids while my wife, KK4HHP, makes her first
full-time effort in the VAQP. She will be operating in
the single-op, high-power phone category from ORG.
During
the slow period early Sunday morning, I may run out for
a short mobile activation of ORG, CUL, and SPO on
20 m, 15 m, and 10 m CW.
73,
Matt

operate phone and possibly some CW. I will be operating from my truck (mobile) in multiple locations. I plan to hit as many counties as I am able by starting in the southwest corner of Virgina. I hate to put a number on it, but I plan on covering several hundred miles and a quite a number of counties and independent cites. W4JJ, Jack Parker Arlington, VA |
