Comments:

This was my first IDQP, and I had a blast activating ADA, ADM, BEN, BNR, CAN,
ELM, GEM, IDA, KOO, LAT, NEZ, PAY, WAS.  

I did the contest in a new (to me) vehicle--a 1988 Toyota pick-up truck,
purchased just weeks before.  I barely managed to get power and antennas
installed, and ran out of time to improve body bonding or minimize electrical
noise (and some wind noise).  

Rigs were a Kenwood TS-480 and a Yaesu FT-857.  Antennas were two homebuilt
screwdrivers mounted on the bed near the rear of the bed, and two stalks
carrying 2 or 3 Hustler resonators on the rails near the front of the bed.  
Gusty winds did a number of the finger stock on the screwdriver antennas.  A
couple of times I had to bend things back into shape.   

 I enjoyed coming across, and briefly chatting with, NF7T on the PAY/GEM/CAN
county line.  

 One little operating snag was that I did a LONG CW run from the PAY/GEM county
line sending out PAE instead of PAY.  Oops!  

  Thanks to all the folks that tracked me from county to county, like N6MU (24
QSOs), NT28 (18), WA2YVA (16), K5WAF (11) and lots of others.  I enjoyed the
company.  And thanks to everyone who spotted me...those really made a
difference!   Finally, thanks to everyone for their patience and perseverance
as I strained to copy calls and exchanges over road noise, electrical noise,
and with my attention primarily given to driving.
