[PaQSO] AA8QQ plans

[Ron Notarius]

Not to split hairs too finally but I think the "truly mobile" phrase was
intended to refer to a "real" mobile, as in vehicle-mounted radios, as
opposed to someone who just sets up somewhere and decides his card table is
"mobile" since it can be physically moved around the site!
