Don, had you thought about TWO operations, one at each place??

Enjoyed meeting you briefly at the Quincy hamfest and talked with KB9KAK 
just about all the way to Springfield as David was going home and I was 
traveling to Champaign.

> Greetings from Springfield. N9HHE and I (W9EBK) enjoyed going to the Morgan-Cass county line last year. However, we talked about enjoying it so much that our club, SVRC, has decided to do a mini-Field Day during the IL QSO Party. The Cass-Morgan county line is a bit far away for this. So we are planning a club operation from the Sangamon-Christian county line. Several transmitters are expected to be on for the duration.

If anyone would like information about this, or several other good county line spots in central Illinois please e-mail me. We don't have enough active hams in the area to keep them all active.
