      Final Score : 20124

              Rig : Kenwood TS-160 (20M) and Radio Shack HTX-10 (10M)

         Antennas : Hustler MO-2 with appropriate resonator mag-mounted to 
vehicle

          Soapbox :
   I had planned to do a SOSB 10M effort, but "got the fever" and couldn't 
wait for daylight.  I pulled out the 100W TS-160, put it on 20M and started 
going to town.  During the day I used the 25W HTX-10 on 10M.  All of the 
contacts were made in a Mobile operation mode (sometimes moving, mostly 
stationary) with a Hustler MO-2 and appropriate resonator magnetically 
attached to the roof of my mini van (vertical clearance 12'4").  Since I 
became a ham in 1983, this was my first contest ever other than Field 
Day.  You can be assured, it won't be my last!!
