Comments:
Cut a dipole and strung it up about 20' to see how it would play. Played for
about an hour then QRT for dinner, then back for the remainder of the contest.
Thinking seriously about spending time in the next one!

Alabama QSO Party Mobile Multi-OpCW LP (as W4NZ)
Alabama QSO Party Call: W4NZ Operator(s): W4NZ Station: W4NZ Class: Mobile Multi-OpCW LP QTH: Operating Time (hrs): 11 Summary: Band CW Qs Ph Qs -------------------- 160: 80: 492 40: 497 20: 15: 10: -------------------- Total: 989 0 CW Mults = 47 Ph Mults = 0 Total Score = 92,872 Club: Tennessee Contest Group Comments: K4VIG and I were pleased to have Brad WF7T join us for this year's QSO party. Brad had never operated a QSO party from the mobile side before but now I think he's hooked. Our setup consisted of two Hustler antennas mounted (one forward, one aft) on the roof of a 1994 Chevy Astro van, an Icom 756proIII and a Dell laptop running N1MM Logger software. Our route covered 24 counties and a total of 614 miles. We had hoped to reach 28 counties but the van overheated with a half hour left and we lost another 30 minutes trying to get the 80m antenna to work. Early on, 20m was the only useful band but even so we were not able to generate the large pileups from Northeast Alabama. Things did pick up around 2000Z when 40m became productive. Both 40 and 20m remained useful right up to the end. In our travel we had a chance to observe up close some of the devastation caused by the recent tornadoes. Our hearts go out to those who have been hit. QSO leaders: N8II(27) NT2A(26) W0BH(24) N6MU(20) W7FB(20) special mention: DL3DXX with 18 QSO's There were many stations with QSO counts in the teens. Thank you all for riding along with us. Thanks to the Alabama Contest Group for all the hard work in organizing/sponsoring this party and again allowing us to come and play in your yard. 73 from the W4NZ/m team, Gary K4VIG, Brad WF7T and Ted W4NZ
