 Idaho QSO Party via K7OJI TVRA members Ron Morell KA7U, Steve Smith K6SPS and Harvey Easton K7UQ operated the Washington County ARES/RACES radio station at the Washington County courthouse in Weiser, Idaho during the Idaho QSO Party. They used the TVRA Club call K7OJI to make contacts using HF and VHF frequencies. A total of 88 contacts were made using CW, SSB, FM and PSK-31. Contacts were made in 25 states and 1 contact in Canada. They scored a total of 1435 points. These three operators were disappointed by the low amount of station heard from Idaho. They were only able to work 5 counties out of 44 total counties in Idaho. You can look at their contact log at the following link. |
