Comments:

What a great adventure! First HF Rover ever for all of us. Extra special thanks
to the "Driving Miss Jay-sie" guys N1WK on Saturday and KB1SBC Sunday. We had
great WX and good company!

The audio was pumping through the hi-fidelity cassette-to-1/8 audio converter. 
The car and rig were so quiet that the motor turning the non-existent cassette
spindles is heard.  The K3 is a fantastic, versatile rig. No noise from the car
with an installation that started only the week before.

NO5W and N5NA Were huge help getting me going on with the fine GPS Enabled
mobile contesting software CQ/x offering support before during and after.

GPS took N1WK and W1UJ off-roading in Wareham MA at the beginning. Ending up
turning around in the middle of a cranberry-bog crossing bridges that were
probably weight-rated for carts. This had the questions of the far-away planned
routes could be.. bad.....  Thankfully, all was better than great after!

The worst road and worst county goes to RI.  The roads were bone-chattering
going through NEWRI, and we spent an amazing amount of time for only a single
QSO from KENRI, and that was not easy. Thank you AB1OD.

Most scenic is NH into VT.  I think cheapest fuel was central NH (North).

2 fantastic dining experiences. 
Saturday started at New England Amateur Radio Festival (NEAR Fest) in NH and
Sweet Sausage from the 'truck' in the middle of NEAR Fest.(Hot was considered,
until the reality of the long trip ahead was also considered) then to
Wareham/PLYMA to make sure KB1SBC was ready at home and went to a local
restaurant where a fine home-style (Turkey Croquettes, Stuffed Chicken and I
forgot what N1WK had.... but all was 5 star) Sunday was North of Lake
Winnipesake NH.  They were generous with the Corn/Lobstah dishes, Surf-Lobstah
& Turf-Steak tips Corn Cobb & 2 potatoes, Lobster-Corn Chowder, Corn Fritters.

The scenery was awesome and the event was awesome.  Will try something new next
year hopefully.

K3 100w / High-Sierra Motorized antenna / CQ/x from NO5W GPS Enabled Software
Just CQ'd high in the band while chatting through the ride.

Thanks for following us around!
