[ILQSO] KJ9C route and times

[Mel Crichton]

OK, first things first.

1. Do NOT confuse AJ9C/m with me! Mike and I will both be in the southern part of the state and will overlap counties. Your log will suffer if you blow the call, not mine or Mike's. Also, I see that the map is already wrong... AJ9C will be a mobile, I will be a rover (using mobile equipment but parking on county lines)
2. DO POST mobiles/rovers to the reflector, but get the call right (See above)
3. I did not realize that I was posting my cell phone to the reflector. If you are NOT a mobile needing me to cover your county, PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME. Calls asking for me to listing for a call will put that call on my WORK BUT DON'T LOG list.
4. WN9O tells me that he and Don W9IU won't be playing in Illinois this year. Too bad, as they have a kickass rover setup.

Now the route. Times are APPROXIMATE. I occasionally run ahead of schedule, but gas and food stops soon take care of that. I will try to operate CW first when on a county line, then if there is time will do phone. While driving, phone will be first priority. Look for me on 20 and 40 ... at about 2200 Z (maybe earlier) I will go to 80.... I hope to get on 80 as soon as I think folks can hear me. Tere likely will NOT be a 75 meter attempt (experience tells me it's brutal for mobiles)

1700 Z  Clar/Cumb/Jasp corner
1740     Jasp (mostly SSB)
1810     Craw (should be covered later by AJ9C)
1835     Lawr (Will be hit harder later by AJ9C)
1850     Rich 
1925     Edwa (Will be hit harder by AJ9C)
1945     Wayne
The following times are earliest I will be there, as I may have to swing south to pick up a few counties in the interim. 
2020     Clay
2100     Mari
2110     Faye/Mari corner
2140     Faye
2200     Effg
2235     Cumb
2310     Coles

I may add Jefferson or Moultrie/Shelby, depending on which mobile needs backup. Keeping myself open right now.
