The first weekend in August I operated only on Saturday AM from the Cannon Falls Highview location to work the rover group that started out near Duluth.  This past weekend, the 2nd weekend of the contest, I rov'ed through Iowa with WB0LJC, AC0RA, N0LNO and N0UTP making 16 stops.  Propagation was poor, some of the worst that I've experienced on 10G, with weak S1 signals on paths that normally are good S5 to S9 paths.  We had a little rain on us at the start on Saturday but then avoid the rain the rest of the weekend.  Rain scatter was not as much a factor as we had hoped it would be albeit my longest DX was with N0OY in EM18ct at 542km.  K0AWU also provided one nice long Q at 452km.   
Final results from both weekends:  111 contacts, 25 uniques, 28,521 distance points for a score of 31,021.  Average distance worked was 257km.  
Thanks for the Qs.
73, JonW0ZQ
