[ILQSO] Re: New Mobile Rules

[Danny Pease]

In support of Hal's and Mel's comments, they both have been invaluable
in making the ILQP what it is in the past. If it wasn't for so many
volunteers from out if state to come help us out, it would totally
change the dynamics of the ILQP. We welcome all comments about rules and
potential changes. One of our goals is to make the ILQP something
everyone wants to participate in. 

That said, the new rules change only affects the mobile class and
creates a new rover class. The current county line/portable class is the
same as it has been. I think the multiple county line operations are
what keep the ILQP from being like so many other QSO parties.

The posted rules can be changed, but most likely we will want to try
them a year or two before deciding whether they were the thing to do or
not.

I imagine N9JF will chime in shortly with his thoughts.

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
