Comments:
A good ride around Ohio, aside from the solar belching that led to poor
conditions early on. The 18Z and 21Z hour rates were in the 40's; four of the
last five hours were over 100, with "only" 90 in the 01Z hour.
One 15M QSO with OM2VL; the other one and the 10M QSOs were with K1LT as we
passed within 5 miles or so from his QTH. Only one SSB QSO from me CQing on my
own; the rest were moves or people who found me after KU8E spotted me after
moving me to SSB.

Hocking was a bit high and Athens a bit low, as we missed a few county signs
where those counties jump back & forth.
The only technical issue was very bad QRN on 80 meters early on. I finally
figured out it was the power supply for the laptop. This is a new one I picked
up at Orlando in February. With no 80M in Florida QSO Party in April, this was
its first mobile effort on 80. With the computer on battery power, it was fine.
But a nice addition: a lighted keyboard which makes the after dark operation
much nicer.
Many thanks to driver K3LA, a buddy since our high school days. To finish off
the weekend on Sunday we got in a nice but warm 45 mile bike ride out of Xenia.
