Comments:

For me, the contest began in Windsor CT USA, where I was taking in the ARRL
Board meeting as a guest.  Between sessions, I did get in a little operating,
and caught a brief Es openings to W4SO and W4MAY in Florida and K2DRH/9.  Once
the meetings were over, I hit the road for my current residence in Ottawa ON
Canada.  

The eight-hour drive took me through 9 grids (FN31, FN32, FN22, FN23, FN13,
FN12, FN14, FN24 and FN25 in that order).  The contest ended while I was
driving through FN13, but I was only able to make QSOs in the first two grids. 
While driving through FN22, FN23 and FN13, I heard stations, but could not
attract their attention, and once the contest was over I never heard a signal
apart from the WA2UMX 2m beacon in FN23.

"VE3AAQ mobile W1 rover" is the longest and most confusing call sign I have
ever used.
