COMMENTS: Worked as stationary Rover at 2 cty lines (BFD/BRA) & (NFK/BRA)
keying on one primary county in each location - BFD & NFK were my main
focus. Eqpt: TS2000 / Ant: Inv-80/40M trap dipole on 25' push-up pole /
Acc: HamGadgets MasterKeyer MK-1 / Logger: OQP software by VE3SYB.
Totally enjoyed first-time Rover experience - may do it again next year?

Murphy's Law: Primary G5RV broke at elevated feedpoint on erection - had to
go to Plan B with 80/40M trap-dipole so 2 bands only! Messed up Logger time
for Saturday contacts - manually corrected 199 QSOs at home prior to sending.
A borrowed marine battery was good for 1.5 hours only - had to use my own
deep-
cycle for everything (xmtr/keyer/logging PC/lights) so had to run booster 
cables from van front-end into side door and re-charge periodically
- running van provided welcome heat; but, also some engine noise.  Brantford, 
Lion's Park location (Saturday) drew some police and "civilian" interest 
without any problems once explained. Strangely, no one cared about me being 
beside a farmer's corn field, on an almost uninhabited secondary road, on
Sunday!

Many thanks to all for contacts and patience - 73 de VA3KAI/R
