Comments:

First time in the MnQP.  All the mobiles really make this contest fun.  I caught
a few 80m QSOs at the start of the contest, but the band was dead until the last
50 minutes, and overall a bust for QSOs.  20 was dead for the first 2 hours but
it then popped open with loud MN signals and I worked way more stations on 20
than I thought I would.  40m was often tough as there were many times I had
wait until the pileups were gone and I was the only caller to work a station,
or I was simply not heard.  It was tough to have a perfectly workable N0EO CQ
in my face, and I missed 2 counties as a result (KIT/MRS).  I suspect I needed
a lower antenna for 40.

Mobiles/Rovers worked:
N0PI	28
N0IJ	26
K0PC	24
W0ZQ	22
KT0R	13
W0AA	13
N0EO	10
KE0G	7
N0UR	7
N0HJZ	5
NV0P	2

Antennas: 20m TH7 & C4 @70', 40m 2 ele Moxon @ 70', 80m sloper

Thanks to Jay & Gwyen for letting me use their station.

73, Kenny K2KW
