Comments:

This year we had a multi multi mobile on Saturday.  Bob W0BH wanted to test out
his new mobile AstroVan before his epic run in Ga to work 73 counties, so this
was his warmup for Georgia.

Randy N0LD kindly offered to come to MO for the day and did most of the
driving.  We had a dedicated radio in the front for 20mtrs and the back radio
was for 40 and 15.  Most of the activity was on 40mtrs, unlike previous years
when 15 when booming during the MOQP.

We were pretty busy during the contest and in hindsight could probably do more
search and pounce to look for more multipliers.  When I was running 40m ssb
there were a few stations parked near the MOQP 40m freq and they were good
steady qso's each time we changed counties.

Our Sat route took us up north of Kansas City, then over through Amish country
and then back to KC.  We were parked at a county line in the country in Amish
country and had a few Amish folks pass by with horse and buggy and give us some
strange looks, but we just waved and smiled and kept making contacts.

We did go on a number of dirt roads, which is always a little risky when you're
picking roads off of a map.  But the weather cooperated and we had nice sunny
skies and a good day was had by all.

We got back to KC around 5pm and then Bob W0BH and Randy N0LD returned to
Wichita, and Randy to Oklahoma City.

I have a neighbour how had expressed interest in ham radio, and so I had asked
him about being my driver from 7pm to 10pm (my son was flying in at 11pm so I
had to be home for 10pm for the 45 min drive to the airport).

We just drove east to get out of Jackson county.  We sat in a gas station
parking lot and worked 40m ssb for a few hours.  He was impressed that we could
work both coasts and even Canada (VE4).

Sunday morning we drove south; my wife Cathy was the driver.  We just went on
highway 49, heading down towards Joplin and George Washington Carver National
Monument for a dual National Parks on the Air and the MOQP.

I worked mostly SSB from Carver and had some decent pileups, but conditions
were a little slow.  After the MOQP I tried to work a friend in VA on 18mhz and
the band was dead.  I also made some 30m cw contacts from Carver after the
MOQP.

We had a great time during the 2016 MOQP.

Below is Bob W0BH's summary for our Saturday Multi Multi effort:
