[ILQSO] Re: New Mobile Rules

[schrowmt]

Since when does someone from out of state have the right to complain how we 
run our contest?!? Why does this person want to destroy the county line 
portable operations? Does this person drive many miles and endure countless 
obstacles and good old Mr. Murphy to give out multipliers to all the 
stations looking to work them all? I suggest you come over to our county 
line portable location and see how it is really done! We have our ground 
wire going through all four corners. We have photos to prove it!  Since when 
does having our setup fifty feet from the corners make such a difference? 
Nit-pick, nit-pick. Leave us run our contest and you can stay home in your 
state and do what you do. We are not "other state QSO parties", we are the 
Illinois QSO party! Don't get me wrong, we welcome you or anyone else to 
come and help us out with multipliers but I am getting a little tired 
hearing how we are not doing what everybody else is doing. The WIARC has a 
very tough job running the annual contest and I don't envy them but I have 
every bit of faith and respect for them. There, I said my piece and if I 
offend anyone, I am truly sorry but it is my opinion and mine only. Good 
luck to all and looking forward to the ILLINOIS QSO PARTY. 73, Mike N9GZ
