Virginia QSO Party 2022 Outing Reports

Virginia QSO Party 2022

Our local Chattanooga club, the Tennessee Valley DX Association, made the annual trek from Chattanooga to Wythe County, Virginia. We operated from a hunting lodge near Speedwell.

Our low power setup consisted of 3 stations: 2 Flex 6600M’s and an Elecraft K3S. Antennas were all wires in the trees: 2 40M EDZ’z and a G5RV. A 160m inverted-L with one elevated radial was used on that band. Conditions were only so-so. Activity was good at times but we filled in the slow periods by watching the men’s NCAA basketball tournament on satellite TV. As always, we had a lot of fun and ate very well! Thanks for all the QSOs, we appreciate every one of them.
