[Mobile-Portable] Newbie to mobile ops

[Larry Benko]

Ed,

Worked you guys several times in the OKQP and mobile contesting is a lot 
of fun.  I have done some contests with a screwdriver antenna but have 
changed to running a single antenna with multiple resonators (W9UCW 
type).  The ability to switch bands instantly should not be 
underestimated.  Look for me in the MARAC CW contest May 7-8 from 60+ 
counties in Nebraska and Kansas (80/40/20/15/10m).  Hopefully 10m will 
actually be open for a few hours.

73,
Larry, W0QE
