[ILQSO] KJ9C still in limbo

[aj9c at indy.rr.com]

In the past Ive run down Rt1 south from I-70 to like the Saline Gallatin area and then back north through Jasper and clay ending back at Terre Haute.  If needed I can try and do that again.  I dont want to duplicate any effort so I was staying out of the way for now this year.  If Mel is having trouble then I can give it a go.  Let me know Mel.  If NY4N is going to cover the area then I stay put here in IN.
