Skip ahead a few days - I tested sending email from my car via Winlink using VARA FM further east and northeast from the Willmar gateway site.
?
The first stop was next to the Starlite Drive In just outside of Litchfield. Successful on the second try.? ? (23.1 miles)
?
Second was a great little history town, Forrest City.? I parked on the threshing fest grounds and sent another email.? ?(27.1 miles)
?
Last email sent was north of Forrest City and south of Watkins on County #17 (not 24 like I said in the email :) )? ?(31.8 miles)

Yup, in radio tall is good.
