What a super time! Again taking a ride across this wonderful region.  Good
times, good friends, good food!

The conditions were poor as we only harvested about half of our normal QSO
count, additional excuses could include ferry rides, and Mother's day errands,
and Mother's day visits!

Another factor is the noise....  Sticking to the South this year, there was
significant noise in each of the bigger cities, and surprising amount of noise
on the entire island of Martha's Vineyard.  Boston and Providence were pretty
rough operating from the roads.

The roads seemed OK, even with an early W1WBB warning about RI, we still must
give them the crappiest roads award!

40m Antenna was shorted and not working until mod-day Sunday......

It is an indescribable experience participating as a rover. We have covered
each county of this region, as a rover, except for NAN MA....  This year's
ferry ride will hold us over for a very long time.

We had planned and executed an 'easy' trip which would include a trip to
Martha's Vineyard island and hand out QSOs from the -vacant in 2015- DUKMA. 
All went off well, one of our first contacts was W1DX who was already covering
the island.... We cut our trip 3 hours short and caught the next ferry back.
made ~30 QSOs.....  

It looks like we had QSOs from 25 counties this year.

Could not find space in any 'mobile window' Saturday night, and would lose the
frequencies often- Sunday was better- Had many guys in the 7QP give me the 'ol
'Only 7QP sri' when trying to work them.....

The NO5W CQ/x software worked well.  the county warnings and switching relieves
a bunch of stress.
