[ILQSO] RE: ILQP NY4N / M, KJ9C routes

[James Funk]

Hey guys, great showing!!

 

There is not much overlap in my area (basically west-central).  I will
cover Mason even though W9MSE is going there, because there is pretty
much no way to get Fulton and Menard without going through Mason.  I
would skip Sangamon, but there is no good way to get from Morgan to
Montgomery without going through Sangamon. I probably WILL skip
Christian.  If I can find a faster way to get from Clinton to Randolph
than by going through Washington and Perry, I'll do it if I'm behind
schedule.

 

Jeff, if you're behind and need me to cover Washington and Perry, let me
know and I WON'T skip them!

 

My cell is 612/670-0976.

 

Thanks for all you're doing!

 

73, Jim N9JF

OK, I have a tentative route that covers the counties north of Jeff,
east of Jim, west of and overlapping Mike, and south of NN9K..... 

 

Jeff. I think you can drop Wayne (as you suggested) since I'll get it
... 

 

Also, Mike may get Edwards, and I plan to swing thru as well... so maybe
dropping Wayne and Edwards will give you some slack

 

 

 

Here's my tentative order of running - to do this I think I will do a
ROVER so I can sit on county lines..... feels a little safer running
solo

 

Clark, Cumberland, Jasper, Crawford, Lawrence (maybe), Richland,
Edwards, Wayne, Clay, Marion, Fayette, Effingham, Cumberland (again),
Coles, Shelby, Moultrie

 

This route takes just over 7 hours, leaving slack in case I continue to
have computer problems.. (The inverter and the DC-DC adapter both make
too much noise, so I won't be logging as fast, planning longer stops
this year)... if  things seem to be gong well I can grab Jefferson (if
NY4N needs help) and drop Coles/Moultrie (covered by NN9K)... cell
