Comments:

The above score includes 24000 bonus points for activating 24 counties.

This year was a bit more leisurely than in the past.  I only operated from a
total of 24 counties.  I got back home a little after 6 pm on Saturday and
around 2:30 pm on Sunday.  I reduced my route to try to save a bit on the fuel
cost.  Diesel is still expensive.  Also I had our furry four legged op in the
back seat. He did fine but was glad to get home.

I was happy to see 15m open. DX stations were LOUD on 15m.  However, Murphy
struck after 81 QSOs on 15m.  I worked N8II in Upton County and the program
crashed.  Rebooted, got everything going and worked KA6BIM when it crashed
again.  I suspect RF found its way into my GPS but I don't understand why it
worked great all day on 15m up to that point.  Finished up in Crane and Ector on
40 and 20 with no problem.  It's been a lot of years since I operated much 15m
in the mobile.
