[ILQSO] Clark County Multi-Station Operation

[Donald Pitchford]

Ray,
I'm glad to hear your club is doing a portable operation. The Sangamon 
Valley Radio Club in Springfield, IL started doing this about 5 years 
ago. We do a potluck wiener roast. We usually get 4 or 5 stations on 
the air in a mini-Field Day style operation. It is a great opportunity 
to get some of the newbies on the air. There is more socializing than 
operating but everyone has a lot of fun. It has proven to be one of our 
more popular club activities. (Except last year, when it was way too 
cold to be out there.)
We'll be looking for you.

Don, W9EBK
trustee W9DUA
