Again this year we combined a mobile and a rover operation on one trip.  
Unlike
last year, when we used one call and sorted out later, this year we used a
separate call, W3DAN, for the rover part.  So K8MR/3 was all mobile.

We did just one day, as my daughter was home from college on a long weekend
visit, and so I wanted to spend some time with her.  It turns out to have 
been a
good decision, as my partner and driver W8DRZ was quite tired from a week of
long days at work.  Two days on the road would have been difficult, for both 
of us.

Conditions were good during the day, but once 40 went long after dark it left
just 80 cw as a usable band, which was OK but limited us to just one crack at
working people.

The score listed does not count a few W3UU qsos (I was impressed with the
perseverance of the 20M CW op who stuck with it to work me from Blair 
county!),
and does count a few county line qsos twice.

We also had a successful beer run, picking up a case of Yuengling to take 
back to Ohio  :>)  .
