Comments:

I arranged to combine the NYQP with a  visit with former next door 
neighbors who
now live in Pittsford. I had  tried to find some local Rochester help to do 
a
full time mobile effort,  but when that did not happen I opted for a part 
time
rover effort, to be  back in time for dinner with my wife and our friends.

I again used the  40 meter "33 Foot HamStick" (a 33 ft wire attached to the
magmount of the  roof of the minivan) that was so successful in last 
weekend's
PA QSO Party.  It worked well again, and I was able to CQ on 40 SSB, 
something
that does  not happen with the 7 foot variety. The normal HamSticks were 
used on
20  and 15.

I had one of my neatest qsos in my many mobile trips. I had  stopped in a 
small
park in a town in Ontario county, when W1DV answered my  40 meter CQ, 
giving me
Ontario county. He asked where I was. I grabbed a  map to figure out I was 
in
the town of of Phelps. "Where in Phelps?" I  looked around for the sign 
with the
park name. "My house is right at the  edge of that park". So Dave walked 
200 feet
out from his front door for a  very pleasant eyeball QSO. Yes, he was 60 
over on
the meter!

It was  a beautiful fall day to be driving around the Finger Lakes. 
Conditions
and  activity were good. We have the date penciled in on our friends'  
calendar
for next year!
