    Mobile ops, its time to dig out the maps and plan a route for TQP 2010! As always, we hope to have all 254 Texas counties represented.

        Had a great time - but I knew from the start I was not trying for a "win" here. I was on the way home from a two week vacation. I was in an RV, not in my usual TxQP contesting vehicle. There were lots of grounding problems and the RV was rented so I was n...

        Due to an early morning Sunday flight to the west coast, I was limited to just a few hours of Saturday TQP fun this year. Great job by all the mobiles and rovers. Thanks to all for the QSOs. 73 - Rick WB8JUI...

        I operated as much as I could, considering current family commitments. The experience of holding a frequency and making a long run @ 5W on 20M was truly memorable for me. Occasionally there was even a mini-pileup! I did not work as many Texas counties as ...

        My favorite contest. Wish I could do mobile again some year, but had a great time running from the house. I was pleasantly surprised at all of the people calling me. Thanks for the many Q's from all over the world.

        This was my best showing in the TXQP. I live in an antenna restricted neighborhood and don't have an antenna above 20 feet. Next year I plan on working half the time digital to increase my overall score. 73, Jeff, W5JNP...

        Got on in short increments between other activities. 20 and 40 were VERY long when I was on. Spent a few minutes on 80m Saturday night where conditions were good, but low activity there....

        Sure had a lot of fun in this years' TxQP! Like last year, I backpacked to my station site at Pine Top camp site in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, in Culberson county.

        I used the same rig as I did la...

        20 was good into west Texas most of the daytime but 40 was the chaos of the damned with the RTTY test QRM in the evening. My hat is off to the very few TX ops who even gave 40 a shot. Sorry the bands were not more congenial from Georgia into East Texas. ...
