Boy, that was a fun evening!  Thanks to those of you who got on.  I
know, it's not a contest. But it DID spur activity!

I worked 12 different callsigns over 68 contacts.

It was a beautiful summer evening. Virtually no mosquitos.  Near the
longest day of the year.

I get it that ideally, fixed stations would be sought out (in each
county) and encouraged to get on the air to make a contact.  That
encouragement just might make a new VHF'er.  But it's kinda slim
pickin's in some of the counties.

As an activity generator, I'm really liking this county thing.  If
someone wants to give non-contest roving a try, a single band rove
could be fun. And counties are much shorter drives than grids.
