Rover is my favorite mode of the VHF contest, but before this contest I always went solo (not including Amtrak Mobile Rover).  I just find it easier to make decisions, and frankly it's hard to find a good person to contest with.  In June 1999 however, I paired up with John Harrison, N3JH, (KB3DPI in 1999).  We used his minivan, installed a 2 meter on top, a couple of magnet mounts.  The contest when pretty well, so I thought.  John said while he enjoyed doing it, the VHF contest and  rovering was just not his thing, and he wouldn't be duplicating the effort.  I was disappointed, but at least our one effort came out well.
