2013 7QP

As I did in 2012, I'll operate mobile in the 7 QSO Party May 4. Last year was QRP, but it was too lonely so this year I'll turn up the wick. Another solo effort so I'll operate an hour from a county, drive to the next one without being on the air, then operate from that one for an hour repeating the process until I get close to home. Most of the counties are in ID with two in WA late in the afternoon.

The order of counties is Valley, Adams, Idaho, and Lewis in ID followed by Asotin in WA, then a county line operation from Whitman, WA and Nez Perce, ID, and finally ending the day in Latah county, ID. I'll be CW only on 20 and 15 m.

Here is the operating plan with times in Zulu.
