OHQP 2023

Only worked about 45 or so minutes for the Ohio QSO party. I had intended to be on a lot longer today, but it was just one of those days that was overcome by "real" life. I did get to try out the new foot PTT switch I built out of an industrial foot pedal so that was nice. Did a run on 80 but wasn't getting much so my attention wained. Only 288 points. Jason
