VE2EM /M had a great contest operation from Quebec.  It began for me as a 
part-time show (say 5 hours), but I got caught up in the hot-bed of 
activity and ran flat-out until the end. I was parked at a Tourist Info 
Center just across the border from Ontario, about 20-odd miles from home.

At the same time, I successfully ran my laptop from a Power Inverter, and 
did all my logging electronically.  This was the first time I'd done this 
from my mobile.  It helped that my car was parked.

My 7-hour effort resulted in new personal records, which were:
-	136 QSOs
-	251 QSO points
-	72 counties  (but no 8-contact multipliers)
-	18,072 total score

Thanks to all the stations who participated from Illinois !!
