I was wrong - Jim travelled to several stations to operate but did
not operate mobile. He wrote me:

Yes, my SS operation was from N8TR, AC8E, K8MR, W8AJ, and K8AZ. No
operation while mobile between the stops.
In addition to my many state qso party mobile operations, I have
occasionally made some qsos in other contests while on trips for
other reasons. I did the 2002 WRTC while driving to a vacation in
SC, operating from NC and SC for a hundred or so qsos. Once did CQP
for a few hours on the way to visit my daughter at college. It
certainly makes a ride seem a lot shorter!
