Does anyone know what NY4N is running as a mobile setup?  He was sure 
loud
yesterday, especially the last couple hours of the contest on 80m.

Thanks for the inquiry John. I have a 2001 Dodge , full size, Van that 
is set-up for only communicationpurposes,  both contesting and 
emergecies. The weekend of the ILQP I decided to use a ICOM 746 PRO, 
100 watts. I also have at my disposal a FT 897, Kenwood TS-50, FT-100 
and a Alinco Dx-70. For antennas, I use Hamsticks, except on 80, where 
I use the Hustler Super 80 coil with the shorty MO-4 mount.  My set-up 
on 20 is a set of co-phased hamsticks (two on same coax), about 1/8 
wave apart and it has some directivity. Seems to work well. My wife is 
the Navigator, Becky, AF4QB. Am trying to get a web page so contesters 
and county hunters alike can keep up with our planned trips. Hope this 
helps!  jeff NY4N
