[ILQSO] Results

So you compare your 4 co line score with other 4 co lines scores looking for
measure, ie an even playing field.  Good.  I do too as 3 co corner op for
several years but the rules throw all of us in the same pot.  Like bringing
a knife to a gun fight, sure you have a chance but......

Well, I don't look at plaques, or whatever.  I just look at what the other
four county line ops did.  I was very surprised to get a 5th place
certificate for county line ops - I never expected it.

Perhaps I should have said "As a 4 county line portable, I only compete with
other 4 county line stations (regardless of what the rules say.)"  
That's why I was surprised to get a certificate - I didn't bother to read
the part of the rules concerning awards - I enter for the fun of it!

I ended my comment with "I personally think the ILQP gang does a FB job in
getting things organized!"  We should cut them some slack, quite a bit of
slack.
