I don't think there is a category for this operation so the actual score has 
not been submitted.  It was a "two men and station" out of state operation, but 
we really weren't going for score and as an SECC member I don't think the rules 
let me submit.  My partner (Jim N9JF the owner of the operating location) wrote 
a nice summary for the County Hunter forum so I have attached most of that 
narrative.  This was a real BLAST!!!  .... I managed to finish up the state of 
Georgia for USACA.  Many thanks to all of the mobiles that provided all these 
opportunities to work Georgia counties.  Great job folks!  Next year I will be 
back to roving.  73 de Greg NM2L

Total:The weekend was indeed a blast! The organizers did a great job drumming 
up activity, and one 

cannot say enough good about all the mobiles and rovers. My plan for the 
weekend was to simply 

clear a path to the shack and try to have everything in operational condition 
so Greg could get the 

last few counties he needed for USACA. Once the party started, I "got the 
fever" and Greg would 

move aside to let me pick up the counties I needed for CW or Bingo. He 
primarily worked on 40 

meters on one radio and I played around on the other one on 20, 80, 160 and 40 
SSB (Greg didn't 

work any SSB at all). His total for the party was about 300 contacts in 153 of 
the 159 counties. I 

worked one other county while he was on the telephone: W4AN in Camden who moved 
into another county 

within a couple of minutes. I mostly just worked stations who were new 
band-counties on the second 

radio (except for grabbing the ones needed for CW/Bingo on Radio 1 on 40 CW). I 
also spotted like 

crazy :) We missed Atkinson, Lee, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Terrell. I don't think 
any of them were 

spotted. I didn't even keep a log except in my master spreadsheet. Greg is a 
SECC member and not 

eligible for competition, so neither of our logs will appear in the official 
results. He did, 

however, work all the needed counties, and I wound up getting all GA for CW 
except for Atkinson. If 

we had done a true multi-single under one call, there is no telling what score 
we could have 

recorded, but that wasn't the point.... N4PN was the only mobile worked on 160. 
W4AN in Echols was 

the only mobile to move the meter on 20 all weekend, though KN4Y repeatedly 
heard me call even 

though he was at ESP level here. The mobile signal strengths on 40 were fairly 
even on CW. They 

were also even on SSB: I did not work a single GA mobile on SSB the entire 
weekend! Mobiles worked 

were as follows: (counties/contacts): K4ZGB 5/5, KC4HW 11/11, KN4Y 28/30, N4FD 
6/6, N4PN 30/30, 

NE4S 7/7, NF4GA 4/4, NG4Z 3/3, NY4N 32/32, W3DYA 29/30, W4AN 32/35 (!!), W4NZ 
23/24, W5LE 16/16, 

WB4A 5/5. Greg made one contact on 160 (N4PN in JASP), 34 on 80, 253 on 40 and 
7 on 20 (all CW). I 

have no idea how many I made. In addition, I chased W6TMD and AA9JJ around the 
various bands and 

modes and just generally had a good time! Cherokee was the easiest county to 
work (8 contacts). A 

whole bucketload of them had one or two contacts. As noted in various places, 
some mobiles did not 

identify very often. I have been on both sides of that controversy; there has 
to be a middle ground 

that will satisfy everyone...or maybe not! Those who consistently came back to 
the same frequency 

on 40 after being on 20 sure helped make it easy to find them! The pileups were 
just amazing. 

Thanks to all who participated. 73, Jim N9JF
