Nice earth weather, bad space weather.  Other  than very local qsos, I had 
only
two in state qsos on 40 meters, with N9EZ  way out in GOGE.

I did have fun running the bands with K8GL from BAY,  SAGI, and MIDL, good 
for 23
qsos from those 3 counties.  The 10 meter  qsos were with the 75/20/15 antenna
and a huge SWR, but when you're 8 miles  away you can get away with that. That
was probably my best rate in the first  7 hours. And the guy even fed us 
breakfast 7 hours earlier!

75 meters  saved the multiplier day, with 9 of my 11 MI SSB mults there. 
Thanks
to those  who QSY'd to give me mults on SSB, including K3TM, N3DXX, K4DJ, 
KN5H,
KO7X,  K0JPL, and K0RI. Unfortunately I couldn't talk K4WW, K5OT, or K8JQ  
into
moving, and I couldn't find N4JF when we moved. 

With the high  geomagnetic activity and high gas prices, it worked out to 
about
25 cents per  qso. But for a good day of mobile contesting, it's priceless.

CU in the  Ohio QSO Party on Saturday, August 26.
