Not so far fetched as one might think -- if you can determine which county
in Ohio has the lowest population (Ham Wise) -- you can put that county on
the air and get a lot of action from the county hunters. Dxpedition to
Morrow County, Ohio (:-)
For a real challenge -- drive thru all Ohio counties as a rover and give out
Worked all Ohio county awards (:-) Some Hams have done this while on
vacation!!! Might qualify as a "Worked all Ohio Counties DXpedition" 88
counties in Ohio
Or a rare Ohio grid square -- the VHFers will pile up on you. An Ohio's
rarest grid square Dxpedition (:-)
Or a special event station commemorating the closing of the Ohio steel mills
and rubber plants. Dxpedition to Ohio's crumbling steel mills (:-)
With these you can be the pileupor instead of the pileupee. Great for the
ego and improve your contest skills.
If you live in the Indian ocean area-- Hocking County, Ohio might well be
rare DX (:-)
All in good fun -- or is it good DX -- ear of the beholder huh

Helen, I was thinking about activating Ohio next weekend. If I do,
I'll give further details in my next post.
