Jim and John,

Thanks again this year, for putting all of those counties on the map that adds to the excitement of the OhQP.  And thanks for the SSB QSYs to get those counties also on SSB.

Comments:

Still fun to hit the road. This year we  again did the Rover category, 
stopping
to operate with a real antenna (the  "33 Ft. HamStick") from 4 of the rarest
counties, Carroll, Harrison,  Monroe, and Morgan. Most of the SSB QSOs were 
while
stopped in these four  places. In the first three I had decent though not 
great
results while  parked, but in Morgan county I had a very good run on 40 SSB.
Combined with  good CW while driving, we had 121 QSOs from there, likely a
single county  high in my mobile/rover operations.

Conditions were pretty good,  especially on 40 meters where propagation 
existed
to most of the state for  most of the contest. The higher bands were decent,
though not much  activity. Most of the 15 meter contacts were QSYs with Uli,
DM5EE. Too bad  we did not first connect until half way through the contest.

The  missing hour was spent operating W1AW/8 on 40 CW from Monroe  county,
perhaps the rarest county in the state. Results with that were  
disappointing,
not much different from what they would have been with a  less prominent 
call. I
guess the other W1AW/8 ops in Ohio had fulfilled the  need and demand for 
W1AW/8
on that band.

Thanks to my driver, AC8E,  and all those who followed us and took part in 
the
2014 Ohio QSO  Party.
