Comments:
First, my thanks to Greg K0GW for driving for me this year. This whole mobile
circus doesn't work without a good driver.
We plotted a route to west central Minnesota this year to make sure all the
counties were covered by mobile operators. The weather was great with just a
light overcast and temps in the upper 30s. Not bad for February in Minnesota.
Just to let you know how quickly things can turn, there were blizzard warnings
out for some counties in our route for Sunday.
We had good luck with the mobile setup for most of the day. But late in the
afternoon N1MM froze up a couple of times, requiring a reboot to get going
again. I think this is caused by the USB cable that handles both rig control
and keying. I have a few ideas for the next outing. Overall a very good day.
