[ILQSO] ILQP 2004 Analysis

[dpease at adams.net]

(forwarded for N9JF) 

The long-overdue analysis of the *2004* party has been prepared and sent
to K9LY.  Not sure what is involved in getting it up on the RAMS site.
Anyone who is really anxious to see it may request a copy from
jfunk at fossnorthamerica.com. 

Please note in the last section ("Prospects for 2005") my comments about
log submissions and rules. 

Numbers of logs were up considerably last year, especially from out of
state.  If you are well-acquainted with individuals from outside IL who
are dedicated contesters or county hunters, this would be a good time to
send them an  e-mail and invite them to the party.  In your
correspondence, be sure to include the ILQP web page URL
http://my.core.com/~jematz/ilqp/ilqphome.htm. 

We still need more mobiles, though the map is filling in nicely with two
or three likely additions that will take care of almost all of the
southern counties.  What we are seeking now is fixed stations; the
mobiles can't be everywhere, all the time (though they do try....).
Talk up ILQP at your club meeting, at the pizza joint, on the local
repeater, and in casual conversation on the air.  That guy you know who
gets on 40 meters for an hour on Sunday afternoon (or would, if properly
motivated) might be just the one to keep us from missing a county this
year. 

73, Jim N9JF
