As with any rover/mobile operation, there are good points and failures.
Saturday weather was rain, cloud, rain, sun, cloud rain in any order
imaginable, and wind!. Sunday weather was snow, rain, heavy snow, cloud, sun in
any order and wind!. Add in wind gusts, and assorted mud at locations.
The multiband dipole built up a wonderful static charge Saturday night and
wouldn't tune on 160m and eventually 80m. The cw key disintegrated steadily
Saturday and failed Sunday, bringing out the spare. Two locations were so muddy
that a move was required to nearby (somewhat) drier ground. The static build up
charged the FT857, giving shocks while using the key. The 857's finals actually
survived. Conditions were as good as could be asked for. Distant qsos were CE6
and LZ11.

Thanks to all who gave qsos, particularly on cw as I retightened the key many
times.

73, Bob
