[ILQSO] Let's use KJ9C/R

[James Funk]

Good plan.

One more reminder to all: if you are calling CQ and have a significant
pileup, pause once in a while and call "/M ?".  I'll bet there will be a
weak mobile in there desperately trying to give you a new multiplier!!

I'll try to remember to take my own advice.  It's not easy in the heat
of battle to remember this....

Everybody have a great, safe day!!!

73, Jim N9JF

Even though I won't have big antennas and hope to make most of my
contacts while driving, I will try to remember to use KJ9C/R (and not
KJ9C/m) as my call, so those tuning across who miss the first letter of
the call won't cornfuse me with AJ9C/M.

As for operating frequencies, I will try to stay close to 050 on CW, but
the RTTY contest will obviously dictate where I find a hole. Won't drop
below 025, though.

On SSB, I will shoot for 14290 and try to call CQ.... on 40, I have
found more IL phone stations closer to 7200 than to 7290, so I will tune
the entire general band. I likely will not call CQ on SSB unless I think
my signal is bigger than it really is. So you big guns calling CQ on SSB
should listen for mobiles and portables once in a while

I won't even try 75 meter SSB unless 80 CW is really hot and I run out
of stations to work. So far I have made ZERO QSOs on 75 in the last 8
QSO parties when I tried to make 75 meter QSOs.... not a great track
record.

See you in the pileups

Mel KJ9C/R
