A beautiful  day to be driving around Ohio. We did think about those further
east being  hit by Hurricane Irene, and noticed the effect. No qsos in New
Jersey  (along with other more commonly missed places).

With my recent drivers  W8DRZ and AC8E unavailable, I found a new volunteer 
in
Joe, W8KNO. He  passed the test well, and even got bonus points for getting 
us
back to our  starting rendezvous point at 0359Z, by far the closest timing 
ever
for a  K8MR mobile trip.

It was very nice to have good short skip conditions  after years of being 
unable
to work other Ohio stations on 40 meters. 15  seemed open, but couldn't 
raise any
activity the few times I tried, and the  only attempted QSY, well after 
dark with
W6OAT, did not work.

Only  technical problems were breaking the boom mike off the Heil  headset,
requiring an electrical tape job, and a first time computer that  several 
times
developed sticky CW, even though it was running NA on a pure  DOS 6.22 HDD. 

As always a lot of fun. Thanks to all who participated.  I expect to be out 
for
at least one day in the Pennsylvania QSO Party in  October. See you then.
