Comments:

Only had a few hours available for the contest so I operated mobile while
driving from Phoenix to Tucson and back on Saturday morning and than a half
hour while mobile in Phoenix on Sunday afternoon.

I am amazed how well this thing gets out on 40 considering my antenna- a $25
hamstick. I even managed to work a few long path stations on 40 besides the
usual JA, KH6 etc. Could have worked a lot more on 40 but logging was very
difficult since I was driving in darkness. I could not believe how loud the
Europeans were on 20 Saturday morning.


Rig: Icom IC-706 MKIIG 100 watts with an LDG Antenna Tuner
Antennas: 40 and 20 meter hamsticks on a license plate mount on my 1984 Volvo

Final note. When I told a few non-hams that I was working mobile CW, they said,
that's texting. And they still were not convinced after I explained, that my
eyes are on the road the whole time when I am sending, not on my key.

73,
