Ham Radio QSO Parties

Skyline Drive is the obvious answer for some very good QSOs.

During last year’s Virginia QSO Party I heard a few too many folks on the HF bands saying their exchange with plain letters. Hmmm wasn’t this the year many no-code technicians became no-code generals? Fresh meat on the HF bands. Most of you new generals did just fine. All the ones I know certainly did fine. However, for the few who insisted on using plain letters, your rookie, FMer, status is blatantly obvious.
