2024 WIQP Mobile Route Postings
Below are route-related postings from direct email, the WIQP reflector and County Hunters Website, Planned Trips page.
Please forward your plans!
W0ZQ/m – updated 3-6
I switched up my route to cover some counties that currently do not have a mobile in them and that I know are somewhat rare. Specifically Taylor, Chippewa and Pierce. I'll be on 15, 20, 40 and 80m late, CW. While I do stop to operate, I may do some PH while driving. Weather looks to be outstanding.
Chippewa 1:00 pm
Taylor 1:50 pm
Clark 2:40 pm
Eau Claire 4:05 pm
Dunn 5:10 pm
St Croix 6:20 pm
Pierce 7:25 pm
Last I checked it looked like there plan to be at least six mobiles covering about 3/4 of all the Wisconsin counties! Looks like the far NE, the Door peninsula, and the far SW counties have no mobiles as of yet. Of course there are lots of fixed stations, etc., I was just looking at mobiles.
