Score calculation:

1147 QSOs * 3 = 3441 points
134 mults + 15 extra mobile mults = 149 multipliers
6 K4TCG bonus contacts * 100 = 600 points
25 counties in route * 500 = 12,500 points

Total = (3441 * 149) + 600 + 12,500 = 525,809

This was our 6th time running mobile in the TNQP.  Our score was not quite as
good as past years (1174 Qs last year), probably due to poorer band conditions
and a slight reduction in participation. Nevertheless, we had a very enjoyable
time driving thru the beautiful Tennessee countryside, and working the pileups
as we entered each new county. 

The 2000 Montana Van, radio equipment, N1MM Logger, antennas, and the 380 mile
route all worked perfectly. Unfortunately, we heard nothing on 15m, and 20m got
weak and long early.  So we swapped out the 15/20m hustler antenna with the 80m
antenna rather early at 6:30 pm local.  We worked a total of 229 unique calls
this year, which was less than the 249 worked last year.

Congratulations go to Bob VE3KZ who worked us 31 times using high power, and to
Chris K5LH at 26 contacts using low power.  Here are the top 10 for number of
QSOs:

VE3KZ(31)
K5LH(26)
AA3B(22)
N2CQ(22)
VE2FK(22)
N4PN(21)
NA2X(19)
K8MR(18)
N4VV(18)
NV9X(18)

DX stations were DK3BN(8), G4RRA(3), HC2AO(1), and S51WO(1).

We appreciated everyone who worked participated in this contest, and making the
2015 TNQP another success.  Thanks to TCG Greg K4KO for pulling this contest
together.  And of course, thanks to Melody for once again driving two OM safely
on another ham radio mobile adventure.  

Hope to hear you all next year in the 2016 TNQP.

73 - Jim (AD4EB), Don (N4ZZ), and Melody (KI4HVY)
