[ILQSO] county coverage:

[James Funk]

Negotiations with mobiles for the 17th continue.  It appears that KJ9C,
NY4N, and W3DYA will venture in from out-of-state to give us a big boost in
southern IL!   Here is a list of the counties and operations as I understand
them:

(county abbreviations may not be "official"...don't have the list in front
of me....)

I don't think anyone is seriously worried about activity from COOK, DUPG,
WILL,  or CHAM.  

A couple of years ago, KANK was a no-show.  Don't you guys have a club up
there?????
That leaves a few "holes" that are being negotiated.  Look at the list and
see how you might modify your plans, if you're going to be mobile, to cover
one or two different counties.  If the county next to you is blank and you
can hop in the car/truck and put it out for an hour or two, go for it!  

I'm still hoping W3DYA will be able to help us out a lot in the southwest
corner.

We can do this.

Post your intentions.  10 more days...
