[PaQSO] Mobile Windows

[Joe Stepansky]

We learned doing both KB3CO/M in 2003 and W3UU/M in 2004 that the mobile 
window wasn't much use.  We'd basically find a frequency and hope we 
wouldn't get cut off at the knees.  If we did, we'd find another 
frequency.  We managed.

The real problem is that it's the mobiles who'll more likely than not go to 
the "good" counties that everyone wants/needs.  If there's a window, you 
can check that periodically.  Without a window, it's hit or miss for those 
needing the last few counties.
