[ILQSO] results!

[Hank Greeb]

Thanks for the very timely results, and the analysis of the scores by
NM9C and you.  As I've said before - you fellows do a great job, other 
state contests which were several months earlier still do not have their 
scores published.

You ask one question which deserves more attention - namely, should more
recognition be given for QRP Operation?  You say that the number of QRP
entries have decreased over the years, with 1 from Illinois and 6 from
outside the state.  Methinks you're "preaching to the choir" when you
put this question to the current participants.

Perhaps a better audience would be the QRP-L reflector 
http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/qrp-l
I'll forward a question to that reflector about State QSO parties in 
general, and ILQP in particular and see what they say.

I personally haven't been keeping track of other QRP activity.  I do 
know that Michigan QSO Party (http://www.miqp.org/) awards a plaque to 
the highest Michigander in the QRP category.  Ohio QSO party 
(http://www.oqp.us/) issues a plaque to the highest in state and out of 
state QRP participant.  I couldn't find a listing of scores for these 
contests which have a breakdown by power level.

Again, congrats on the very timely and very thorough job.
