[ILQSO] K9ESV McHenry Co- Update

[Wendell Smith]

After talking about the ILQSO party a bit, and realizing we would likely 
have a number of folks sitting
around watching someone use the radio, we have decided to update our 
entry class to Multi-Multi!
Whats that, you say? No MM in ILQSO? Good heavens, time to change the rules!
Seriously, since many of our members are relatively new hams, with 
little to no HF experience, we decided
to just have fun and not worry about the score.  Our log will be 
submitted as a checklog, but not entered in
any "Official" category!
We feel this will offer our participants the greatest opportunity to get 
on the air without offending any of the
"oldtimers" who also want to play- they have been notified that they can 
do all of that "Charlie Whiskey"
stuff they want, without us Novices jabbing them in the side!

I'm heading up north for the evening, so if the "Officials" have any 
problem with this- mainly, invalidating
contacts made with us, please call me!

Otherwise, we'll be on the air 80-2m, SSB & CW

Have fun, drive safe, and chat with y'all tomorrow!
