[ILQSO] N9JF/m modified route

[James Funk]

I have been periodically without e-mail this week and a computer "upgrade"
(note the quotes) hosed a few messages.  Here is the latest proposed route
for N9JF/N9MTX/M:
 
Scott
Greene
Jersey
(Greene)
Calhoun
(Greene)
(Jersey)
Macoupin
Montgomery
Shelby
Fayette
Bond 
Clinton
Washington
Perry
Randolph
Monroe
(Randolph)
(Perry)
Franklin
Jefferson
Marion
Clay
Wayne
 
W3DYA sent me an e-mail late last week indicating he did not want to get
close to St. Louis (I can understand that!!).  It looks like the ones at the
end of his list (pretty tentative) are going to be covered, as are the ones
at the end of my list.
 
Anyhow, I am going to cover Monroe and Randolph near St. Louis.  There is
just about no way to get Monroe without doing a lot of back-tracking and
still get the counties to the east.   I think a couple of fixed stations
will be on from Madison.  The three at the end of my list
(Marion/Clay/Wayne) are "iffy".  DeLorme says this is an 11-hour drive!!
KM9X/M will be doing Wayne, so that's not a problem. 
 
Anyhow, everybody get on the air and have fun.  Mobiles, drive carefully.
Send your logs to RAMS or your electronic logs to yours truly.  The weather
that is going through now is supposed to straighten out by the weekend and
it should be a nice day to be out and about.
