K1RO
Thanks to the Missouri mobile and fixed stations for an interesting and fun weekend. Note that I worked AF5Q/N0W early in the contest when he was sending his call as AF5Q/M. I did not change my log since that's what he was sending at the time.
 
W0MA
Thanks everyone for a great 2017 MO QSO Party!

AF5Q used his call for the first two hours and then remembered he was supposed to
use N0W and used N0W after that. I am leaving AF5Q in the log but the totals should include AF5Q and N0W as N0W.

OM2VL
Unfortunatelly very bad condx especially on Saturday. Many times I
heard very very weak mobile - I can't call him, many times I can't
break the USA wall and many missed at the begenning when he was on
40m. I thought at night 40m will be better, but it was unbelevaible
DEAF band. I can made only 10 QSO. Sometimes I heard some mobiles and
called him neverending, but no any answer. During last 8 hours I made
only 15 !!!! QSO .... Most QSOs with: W0E/M 34/21 (QSO/Cty), N0O/M
21/16, K0PC/M 20/20, N0E/M 18/17, K0E/M 12/11, K5YAA/M 10/10, W0S 9/3,
KD0VMM/M 7/7, K0DEQ/M 6/6, W0W 6/2, N0W/M 4/2, AF5Q/M 3/3, N0A/M 3/3,
W0H/M 3/3.

Rig was FTdx5000 and Butternut HF6V.

WQ6X
This is another remote operation from NX6T.
While looking for band openings in the EA RTTY and SP-DX contests
I played around in the MOQP and the MSQP.
Unfortunately,there we not many QP stations in EITHER GiG
that I could hear, much less work.
Y'all need to recruit more participants to your party.
I'll be back next year.
Look for my WQ6X Contest blog write up about this weekend:

Things started out kind of slow but picked up in the evening.
Could not make it to the radio on Sunday.  Nice weather so
outdoor activities needed attention.  Thanks for the contacts.
