K3UHF,  Yes indeed Russell VE3OIL does do much good for Canada.  During the June and September contests, he is partnered with Murray VE3NPB driving separate vehicles.  In January, Russ travels alone, trying to cover off the same grids.  They divide the grids in half, and cover off the grids east of Toronto, namely FN13, FN14, FN03 and FN04 in one day, then move south-west for as many EN grids the next day.  Russell now exceeds 36 contests as a rover, and has his equipment well engineered for use both stationary and mobile too.  It remains to be seen if anybody in Canada will ever exceed their fantastic score, which keeps growing and growing.   Must be a lot of Energizer bunnies in the back of that pickup truck.

73,

Bill  VE3CRU/R
