Claimed score: 18792 (Adjusted from raw output below after deducting
operator who didn't answer my CK? fill request.)
Operated portable with 15 and 20m 1/4 wave whips on vehicle from nearby park.
Horizon isn't perfect there, but at least it's not on the wrong side of the
neighborhood mountain. :-) Besides the antenna, tested out other portable
contesting gear I have been accumulating. 25 pound 1300 W-hour batter worked
great with a KX3/KPA100.
Time worked: about 6 hours less about an hour for lunch break, fooling around
with experimental portable radio setup, talking to neighbor, etc. First hour
was about 50 QSOs/hour sustained. So either the portable location was better
than home or the SFI helped. Ran laptop (about 35W) instead of Raspberry Pi
(only 5W). Need to work on gooseneck/brackets/mounting for display and rig.
Was able to run and did so quite a bit. But also did a few sweeps S&P of both
bands. With whip antennas and 100W, didn't try to fight the big pileups.

The rest of the report below is generated by my HB contest logger when it
spat out the cab file. TODO: generate a nice map plot of sections worked
or sections missed!
Fun stuff!
