Comments:
Another great drive around southern Florida! It was good to have 15 meters as a
runnable band, though I had hopes that 10 might also have been, which it was
not.
We got caught in Saturday's weather in eastern Highlands and Okechobee counties,
with heavy rain, lots of nearby cloud to ground lightning, and hail. Sat parked
in OKE for maybe half an hour waiting it out, as well as spending time while
still driving with occasional CQs on 10 which netted two QSOs. I missed the
usual hour driving through St. Pete & Tampa, where the traffic is way too
heavy to try operating while driving. Also missed some time while driving in the
darkness to find my spot to park in DES, and through construction on FL50 in
SUM.
SSB was somewhat disappointing, especially to W6/W7. The only states worked out
west on SSB were AZ and WY.

Thanks to all who chased me and the others around Florida!
