02-25-2008: Justin/KG4VBK got some free pub as results from the 2007 Alabama QSO Party were recently released. From the AQP results writeup: We also want to mention KG4VBK, Justin for his mobile participation from Coffee County.

They are trying to crack down on Cell Phone use while operating a POV or Military Vehicle. Cell Phone use is acceptable if you are using Bluetooth or a hands-free device.
