Well I have finally got everything put away from the rove two weekends ago. With the cold weather lately I have been hiding inside so finally today with temps in the 30's I got the antennas off the rover tower which has been sitting in the driveway. 
 
The contest was pretty good overall the only downside was the weather and road conditions. We spend at least twice as much time driving then expected just because of the roads and of course the other drivers. Actually got started late because I80 east bound was closed due to a accident. But after we got setup and started making contacts we were on a roll throughout the rest of the contest. 
 
We ended up working from 10 different grids in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. The totals per band are below.
 
6m- 79qso 17grids
2m- 119qsos 19grids
222mhz- 62qsos 15grids
432mhz- 82qsos 17grids
 
Total qsos: 343
Total mults: 78
 
Total score was 37,908.
 
I also put a little info on my website regarding the rover setup. Also be sure to look at the youtube videos for a good look at the setup. Links for the video are on my website.
