WIQP Mobile Postings
NRØT - CW Only
Wisconsin
QSO Party mobile route
1800
- 1830 Barron
1850 - 1920 Washburn
2005 - 2035 Sawyer
2050 - 2120 Bayfield
2140 - 2210 Douglas
2325 - 2355 Burnett
0030 - 0100 Polk
All
CW. 50 KHz above the bottom of the band, give or take 5-10 KHz
Before
2300z: 20 meters first, then QSY to 40.
After 2300z: 40 meters first, then QSY to 80 Bands are subject to change
depending on conditions.
I
don't have a driver this year, so I will only be operating while stopped. The
blank times in the above schedule are drive time between counties. Times are
approximate.
On APRS check for NR0T-9.
W9MSE - Jeff - CW Only
Tentative
route for 2016 WIQP for W9MSE, weather and health permitting (Hopefully my
driver and I escape the flu that is present now in the family).
Probable
order of counties after I pick up my son to be driver in Dane county.
Green, Lafayette, Iowa, Sauk, Richland, Grant,
Crawford, Vernon, Monroe, Juneau, Wood, Portage, Adams, Waushara, Marquette,
Columbia, Dane.
All
operation CW, primarily 20 and 40 meters with very little 80 meters due to poor
antenna for that band. Hope to hear and
work everyone often.
Have
fun! 73 Jeff W9MSE
WO9B - Mike - CW only
Here's
my planned route: Clark, Jackson, Wood,
Monroe, Juneau
I
will be operating CW only on 20 and 40 at each stop. Seeing how things
go, I may try 80 for a couple of calls, but later in the day I'll drop 20 in
favor of 80. For my personal sanity, the goal is the above 5 counties,
but if all goes well, I could add Adams to the list. I don't win many
lotteries, so I will be thrilled to make it to the 5 counties.
N9NE - Todd
Greetings!
I
plan on operating 'solo' mobile in this this year's WIQP from the four
adjoining counties of Portage (POR), Marathon (MAR), Shawano (SHA), and Waupaca
(WAP). The route utilizes county roads which circle the point of intersection
of the counties. I'll be driving only a few miles between spots where I'll park
and operate ... no operation in motion. I may be able to operate twice from
each county as the afternoon progresses and propagation changes.
Most
operation will be on 20 and 40M CW and SSB, but I will occasionally monitor 15M
and then go to on 80M CW during the last hour. My intent this year is to spend
much more time in S&P mode for other mobiles and county multipliers than in
the past.
I'm
with Mike (WO9B) who wrote "I am awash in technical glitches for my
planned rover operation." The
effort of basically building a temporary ham station in my van is not easy.
Age, arthritis, and recent back and rotator cuff surgeries conspire to make
erecting and tuning the Hustlers and Hamsticks mag-mouted atop the van a
physical ordeal. I've also been trouble-shooting some issues between the K3 and
N1MM logger in the laptop that hadn't appeared previously in the shack.
Is
it worth it? Absolutely! Hope to work
you on the 13th. If the weather is
really bad (snowstorm), I'll operate from the home station here in POR.

Todd, N9NE
Amherst, WI
K0PC, Pat
I
will operate W9DND/M from VERnon, LACrosse, MONroe, JACkson, TREmpealeau,
BUFfalo, PEPin, EAU Claire, CHIppewa, RUSk, BARron, POLk, ST Croix, PIErce. All
CW primarily on 40/20M with quick excursions to 15M runs on 80M at the end.
This
is the same route from 2015. I am lucky to be joined by my old driver John,
W9DND this year.

Pat K0PC

some counties on 3/13. Itinerary includes, WAL, KEN, RAC, WAU, JEF, DOD, COL,

ant for the new wheels) and we will be on V/UHF and APRS.
‘Safe

K9TIT/m Route - Tim
Here
is the route and counties that K9TIT plans on operating for the QSO party this
year. I might still tweak the route that we take in order to spend more or less
time in a particular county.
We'll
be in;
Door, Kewaunee, Brown, Manitowoc,
Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Dodge, Green Lake, Waushara, Waupaca, Winnebago.
We
cut back the number of counties that we are going to attempt to get since we
had to modify our route on the go last year and cut some counties out due to
time. Hopefully this route will work well for us.
My plan is to work the following counties:
KC0DMF anticipated counties
St Croix,
Polk, Barron, Burnett, Washburn, Douglas, Bayfield, Sawyer, Ashland, Iron,
Vilas, Oneida, Price, Lincoln, Marathon, Taylor
I'll
be on 20m until I'm forced to move to 80m.
You
can find me with APRS using KC0DMF-9. Good luck to all mobile/rover operators!

W0ZQ - Jon
…my ability to
get the mobile set up for Sunday and the WiQP is iffy right now. Just too
much stuff to do. If I can get motivated, I may do a reduced mobile
route, TBD. Looks like the weather will be good which is certainly
a plus this time of year.

The XYL WB9TFF & I WB9TFH will be mobile.
We'll

are Waukesha, Washington and Qzaukee. We will make most Q's in Ozaukee for
those who need it.
Running

Now
to scout some high spots.
