Comments:
 
First, thank you to all the stations who called in and made my weekend a
blast.
I operated both days and activated 12 counties. 500 miles (exactly) driven
for
the two days. Worked bonus station W3ZGD 16 times; I don't think I ever
worked
the bonus station in previous years. 
 
QSO leaders were W3ZGD (16), KV8Q and N4PN (15), WA3HAE and WW8OH (14), AA3B
and K3NG (13), N3AD and W3KB (11), NA2X (10) and many others with multiple
QSOs. Most productive counties were Cameron (166), Forest (154), Warren
(133)
and McKean (104). The first three are pretty rare and the pileups proved it.
I
got many thanks for providing a sweep with their last county.
 
My modified screwdriver antenna worked great. I got many fine signal
reports,
even on 80m. I did have an intermittent SWR issue Sunday morning right at
the
start, but found the problem and fixed it on site. Whew!
 
I would have liked to try 20-15-10 more but CQing and not getting answers
gets
old real fast when rates on 40 and 80 were terrific.
 
Score includes all mobile and bonus station extra points.
