I would like to thank the mobile stations that looked for me when they
were in Jackson county, and W9HB's offer to make a special trip.  It's
not a big deal; still have 40 to go for 2nd time and just having fun.

My totals:

CW QSO's - 739 (1,478 points)

IL Counties - 43

State/Prov  - 31

DX          -  5

8 QSO Ctys  -  6

Total Mult  - 85

Total       - 125,630

Band QSOs:  40M = 304, 20M=316, 15M=106, 10M=13

I posted totals to the 3830 site and said I wouldn't change anything.  

However, someone might want to consider expanding the DX multipliers
instead of limiting them to 5 max.  Limiting them does not encourage IL
stations to work DX, but most of the DX stations I worked are hunting
counties for USA-CA.  Encouragement might help increase DX activity -
just one more way to increase activity on 20, 15 and 10.  Even had a FEW
DX contacts on 40M!

Great contest!
