> Always a lot of fun as a Rover. Fortunate to have a driver for Sunday also this
> year and best ever Sunday totals. Saturday was slow, but signals seemed good.
> Put second antenna on the truck to get to 15m (and 10 if it opened) easier.
> Decided to use NO5W's CQ/X logging program this year to utilize GPS route and
> crossing info. Decision made just 4 days prior to the event - fire hose
> drinking time. Got it working and learned enough to drive it pretty well. Still
> need work on map planning (actually more time) as could not get the file to load
> into the driver's Garmin and no time left to troubleshoot. Didn't get the GPS to
> pass through to S&T, either. All in all, should be a great program to keep
> from missing county changes in the log/messages and keep the driver informed.
> Could use a second screen on the laptop, though, for the S&T map. The main
> mobile antenna continues to work well. Route planning helped stay on better
> roads and realistic time tables. Ended each day at the appointed locations -
> not 4 hours from home, hi hi.
> 
> Obviously the only way to up the score from here is to visit more counties - an
> almost exponential increase in miles driven. Hats off to those that do it.

> Looks like Norm / W3DYA may have gotten me by 6 Q's. Ugh.
