[ILQSO] NY4N / m ILQP route // adjustment // thoughts

[jim funk]

The consensus seems to be that 146.55 is the place to be on 2 m FM.  So let
it be.  I'll at least monitor it and will try to remember to call a CQ once
in awhile.

Jeff's route revision makes it more crucial that the high band crowd catch
Alexander, Pulaski and Union from either KF9D or W3DYA.  Norm, are you
coming into the state on I57 or I24?

73, Jim N9JF
