If not already taken, please put WD9FMB and KC5FB at the corner of Tazewell, Woodford and McLean.  I checked previous emails and did not see this corner taken....I could have missed it.....if weather is crappy, then we will be Rover....from same location as well as others in Central Ill.

Jim,

Wife & I have decided that the 4-hour trip to Hardin County may be a bit too strenuous for me this year.  I finished my radiation treatments on September 30th & my stamina is not coming back as quickly as I had hoped.  Also, I will start chemotherapy on the Tuesday after ILQP & don't want to be too drained when I start those treatments.

So, instead of going to Cave-In-Rock State Park, we will set up camp in Lincoln Trails State Park in Clark County.

We hope to go back to Hardin County next year.

73, Ray, K9DUR

Subject: [ILQSO] KC9FQV operation for ILQP 2008
Message-ID: <48ED8E31.2040702@emlorenz.com>

Hi all:

Looking forward to participating in the ILQP this year, for the first 
time on HF!

I have been waiting to make a decision on where to go, seeing how thing 
shape up. As there appears to be a need to light up Will Co. and it 
appears no one is going there yet, I'll put a stake down for Will, 
operating with KC9HRH. Not sure of an exact location yet, we may try for 
a Co. line, otherwise just in the county somewhere, as portable.

We will be operating Phone, and Digital.

Hope this helps!

Eric KC9FQV

PS- Any preferred mode for Digital? I usually work PSK, but can do RTTY 
if necessary (I'm just not as good at it yet).

Very good, Eric.  Thanks for 'filling a hole' !

Digital contacts count the same as CW (2 points).  I'm not sure anyone
has ever sent in a log that included digital contacts, so go for it!  No
suggestion as to which digital mode; you're a pioneer!

Subject: [ILQSO] KC9FQV operation for ILQP 2008

Hi all:

Looking forward to participating in the ILQP this year, for the first
time on HF!

I have been waiting to make a decision on where to go, seeing how thing
shape up. As there appears to be a need to light up Will Co. and it
appears no one is going there yet, I'll put a stake down for Will,
operating with KC9HRH. Not sure of an exact location yet, we may try for
a Co. line, otherwise just in the county somewhere, as portable.

We will be operating Phone, and Digital.

Hope this helps!

Eric KC9FQV

PS- Any preferred mode for Digital? I usually work PSK, but can do RTTY
if necessary (I'm just not as good at it yet).

I'll take a peek on PSK31 to see if there is any activity during the contest....  but like Jim, I've never worked digital during ILQP.

Very good, Eric.  Thanks for 'filling a hole' !

Digital contacts count the same as CW (2 points).  I'm not sure anyone
has ever sent in a log that included digital contacts, so go for it!  No
suggestion as to which digital mode; you're a pioneer!

I will check PSK every so often, mostly 40 meters but maybe 20 and 80 as
well if things are slow.

Hi Mike,
	Hardin is open now.

	Are you volunteering?

	K9DUR operated there as a portable last year and was going to again 
this year until his health caused him to change his plans.

Several members of the Sangamon Valley Radio Club will once again be operating from the Christian/Sangamon County line at Lake Sangchris. We expect to operate mostly SSB, with a little CW, on 20 and 40 meters. Likely calls will be W9EBK and W9DUA, et al. I'm still shaking the bushes to get some 2 meter and CW activity going.

Mike,

Pam & I were planning on going back to Hardin County this year, but decided to change plans due to my cancer treatments.  I have completed the radiation treatments & will start the chemo the week after the ILQP.  My stamina is not coming back as quickly as I had hoped after the radiation treatments & we decided the 4-hour drive each way to Cave-In-Rock State Park would be a bit much.  So we decided to stay a little closer to home.  

We will be camping in Lincoln Trail State Park just south of Marshall, IL, in Clark County.  This is only 5 miles south of where I used to work & only a 45-minute drive from home.  We took a drive over to Lincoln Trail this afternoon & scouted out the campground.   Look for us in campsite #85.

In addition to the full-time effort by K9DUR & K9JMA (we will be using the call K9DUR/P), there will be some other part-time activity in Clark County by Wabash Valley ARA members.  

One group will be set up at one of the shelters.  They will be operating using various callsigns & on both modes.  W9UUU & W9EEU are possible calls to be used.  Their operations may not go much past supper time.  

The WVARA is running a series of special event calls for the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival which runs from Fri, 10/10, through Sunday, 10/19.  Since the ILQP is on the last day of that operation, at least a couple of those calls will be operating from Lincoln Trail State Park during the ILQP.  The special event calls are: W9P, W9A, W9R, W9K, & W9E.

NY4N will pick up Hardin if no one else wants it. Not too far out of the way 
for us. Would you pass this on to the IL reflector, having trouble getting on. 
will have new route shortly.  Jeff

some contacts, then e-mail the ones you worked and remind them to
reciprocate next weekend!!!!

It's worth noting that there was a solar "event" of some sort today and
the K index went to 6!  In conditions like that, you are going to have
to really dig for the mobile signals. 

I'd suggest all IL stations checking 80 and 75 meters every hour, even
right at the beginning.  I know I'm going to be trying to run every
county on 80.

Please post your plans if you have not already.

Message-ID: <25550FE81EE6584BAE729C535FA3A6E999143D@FOSS40.foss.net>

In order to catch church before we depart on Sunday, we will reverse our
previously-posted route:

Adams, Hancock, Henderson, McDonough, Fulton, Mason, Schuyler, Cass,
Brown, Morgan, Scott, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Montgomery, Bond

Mostly CW, with half an ear on 146.55 FM simplex.  Okay, maybe a third
of an ear....

Low-tech.  Logging on paper.  YL driving, paper maps.  Frequent
snacking.  Sending by hand...sloppily... most likely.  80/40/20 in each
county, probably in that order, until about sundown, then will probably
bag 20.

7 days, 13 hours, 36 minutes to blast-off....

Message-ID: <CA651AF93ADA47DAB7ADF6BAAE317B66@meldesktop>

Here's a ROUGH estimate of my drive route. Since it's about 7 hours long, there may be changes to add a county..... if not, I likely will let the ILQP get rolling for a while before I start (it's usually kinda dull mid day then it picks up later, need to rest the back after driving over from Indy)

CW priority and SSB when it gets dull 980-40-20 only) , will likely NOT call CQ on SSB, instead look for strong SSB stations but will call them only 3 times then move on. (hint to fixed stations - If you want a new mult ask for " mobile/portable only please")

About 30 minutes per county:
Cumb - Jasp - Effg - Clay - Rich - Wayn - Edwa - Waba - Lawr - Craw - Jasp(again) - Cumb (again) - Clar

Mel,

I will be monitoring 146.55 MHz FM.  If you have 2m on board, give me a call
when you pass through Clark County.  I assume you will be northbound on IL
Route 1.  If so, you will pass within about 1 mile of me.  I will be in
Lincoln Trail State Park, 1 mile west of IL Hwy 1, about 5 miles south of
Marshall.

Looks like you will be in Clark County late, so I will probably be on 75m.

Mel,

After looking at the order of the counties in your route, it looks like you
will be passing through Clark county on US Hwy 40 (or I-70).  In that case,
you will pass within 5-6 miles of me.

Mel makes a great point.  As a mobile, you WILL NOT HEAR ME if there are a dozen (or maybe even two...) fixed stations calling.  If you stand by for mobiles occasionally, you WILL be rewarded with a multiplier occasionally!  Same advice for other mobiles and portables and rovers: there are weak "/m's" in there calling.  I know it's tough to remember in the heat of battle....   I, too, will be on SSB only if things get slow on CW, and I will NOT waste time calling CQ. It just doesn't work for me on SSB.  Moral: if you are loud on SSB, call CQ...and listen!

Amazing how many strong CQing stations I'm hearing in PA this weekend with numerous stations calling them and they don't hear anyone....

As for 2 meter FM, there too, I won't be calling CQ; but if you make noise and I am close...hey...multiplier time!

Message-ID: <518021.77765.qm@web30504.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I haven't decided yet if I will operate, but if I do, it will be my usual QRP rover operation from four or five counties.  Likely counties include Winnebago, Ogle, Carroll, Stephenson, and Jo Daviess for about an hour each.  If it ends up being four counties only, I will drop Winnebago at the beginning.  Operation will be CW, with possibly a shout or two on SSB.  20 and 40 meters (and 15 if it open; no 80 meters).

Still not 100% sure now.  I'm hoping to find out for sure tomorrow.
If I do go rover, it won't be with those eastern counties I mentioned
earlier, as W9TY jumped in there "officially" after I threw my feeler
out there.  Guess next time I will have to just claim something up
front without pondering first :-).

Will post again soon with more definitive plans...

You can still run those counties if you want, I am sure W9TY wouldn't

There are a few additions to the list that will be in the next update.
The postings are pretty impressive so far; this should be a GREAT ILQP!

Note that we can still use a LOT more activity, especially in some
counties on one mode or the other:

Counties with almost no CW planned/posted:  Ummmm...that would be
none....

Counties with almost no phone planned/posted: ALEX, BOND, BROW, BURO,
CASS, CHAM (you're kidding, right?), CLNT, DEWT, FAYE, FRNK, FULT, GALL,
GREE, HAML, HARD, HNDR, JACK, JEFF, JERS, JOHN, KEND, LEE, LOGN, MACN,
MASN, MSSC, MNRD, MRCR, MNRO, MTGY, MORG, MOUL, PERR, PIAT, POPE, PULA,
RAND, ROCK (really???), SCOT, SHEL, WARR, WASH, WAYN, WHIT, WTSD
(?????), WMSN.

We really don't want this to be a "CW contest", but we need to beat some
bushes to get fixed stations on the air in those *FORTY-SIX*
microphone-free counties!  There surely are fixed stations active in all
of those counties.  I have tried e-mailing over 200 IL stations, some of
whom submitted logs last year.  Sending e-mails based upon QRZ.com
e-mail addresses (and in some cases, e-mail addresses that were good a
year ago) is a frustrating waste of time.  If you are personally
acquainted with someone who has not posted plans, bug them to get on the
air next Sunday!!

If you are primarily a phone operator, call CQ a lot and listen for weak
responses.  They might be mobiles.  If you hear us once, we'll probably
call you again from another county.  If you don't...uh...well....

Six days, 21 hours, 28 minutes and counting...

73, Jim N9JF

I have it on good authority that there will be multiple stations active
next Sunday from the Canadian Maritime provinces (NS, PEI, NB, NF and
LAB) and they will be making serious efforts to work a LOT of IL
stations and counties!  If you are a fixed station, please spend some
time on 20 meters and beam northeast.  It might make a big difference in
your score.....

Made some adjustments and was able to pick up Hardin County. Plan on 
activating the following counties in the order of which they are 
listed:  1 Hardin, 2 Pope, 3 Johnson, 4 Massac, 5 Pulaski, 6 Alexander, 
7 Union, 8 Williamson, 9 Franklin, 10 Jackson, 11 Perry, 12 Randolph, 
13 Monroe, 14 St Clair, 15 Clinton, 16 Washington and 17 Jefferson.


CW only. Will have 2 meter FM simplex on 146.550 and 6 meter USB  at 
50.130. Will monitor VHF all day. Also, will have rig on all day on 80 
meters, at 3545 MHz. Will be listening while working other bands, so 
local stations should throw out a CQ at or near the frequency. Might 
get a bite. Have fun everybody.  Jeff and becky

Hello everyone:

            WW9CW and N9YPN will be operating from the Bureau, Henry,
Whiteside corner, mostly phone with 2 MTR FM available. Depending on how
things go it may even be a two call set up. Hope to hear from a lot of

Yes, a mobile station operating from a county line or multi-county corner
would put you in the rover class.

Once again this Sunday I will be handing out the obscenely rare and always pileup causing Oklahoma multiplier!  I look forward to seeing everyone again and good luck to all of the mobiles.  

I have had a good time the past couple of weekends in the California and Pennsylvania QSO parties, but of course we all know that those aren't real contests, they are just practice sessions for the only one that counts-the Illinois QSO party.

Also, in the most recent article of NCJ there was an article on QSO parties, and one graph showed that the Oklahoma QSO party received more logs than the Illinois QSO party.  I find that hard to believe-but this year will hopefully change all of that.

DeLorme says 277 miles, 7 hours and 49 minutes, not a speck of

Brown and Schuyler will be brief.  Don't blink.

We can pick up Mercer with no extra mileage.  If we get a little ahead

ILQP was discussed at our monthly club meeting of the Vermilion County
ARA and it looks like we should have a few folks at the club house
operating. Hopefully this will be both CW and SSB depending on
operator schedule.

We will operate under the club call of W9MJL. If there is enough
participation we might setup a second station under an individuals
call since there isn't a multi category.

Looking forward to a good party!

Message-ID: <25550FE81EE6584BAE729C535FA3A6E999198F@FOSS40.foss.net>

As a mobile, try to land near the same frequency each time you go to a
band.  E.g., jump to 3547, 7047, 14047 or something. I hope the band is
so full of mobiles that this won't always be possible!  However, the
smart fixed stations are going to make a note of where you "normally"
hang out and will check for you near there.  They will also have a list
of who is going to run what counties and in what order so as not to miss
you in those counties you will be in only briefly.

YMMV....

Message-ID: <25550FE81EE6584BAE729C535FA3A6E999199E@FOSS40.foss.net>

For those of you inclined to spot mobiles and watch for spots, try http://ch.w6rk.com/.  This is the page commonly used by the county hunting group and avoids irritating those on the DX clusters who think counties are blas?'.  Try it ahead of time to see how it works...pretty simple.

Folks, I've decided that I can't make the drive to IL without losing too much of the weekend, so I'll be working the contest from the basement hamshack, my first INDOOR IQP in probably 10 years.? I've got the NVIS strung, the Triton IV dusted off, and the minifridge stocked.? I'll be handing out the elusive IA multiplier this time around.

Josh, you are correct about no separate class for multi-op, but 
multi-ops are acceptable. All fixed stations except QRP are rolled into 
one class, whether they be single op, multi, high power or low power. If 
you guys want to multi-op, go right ahead.

I'll be looking for you Dave. I'm leaning towards operating with the 
SVRC folks W9DUA/P during the day and then finishing up from home on 
75/80 that evening. I've got an early day on the Monday following IQP.

Ok.  We have officially made plans.  WX9JC will operate a portable station
from Tazewell/Mason/Logan.  While Tazewell is fairly well covered, Mason and
Logan are not (only mobiles passing thru and CW only).

We will be on SSB only, and will also be monitoring 146.550 simplex for 2
meters.

The operators this year will consist of a few hams from the City of Peoria
Emergency Communications Response Team, and we will be using our incident
command trailer that was recently built - so this is also going to serve as
a sort of drill/practice event for us.

Looking forward to working all of you who will be on SSB. Seems like there
are an abundance of CW-only stations this year.

You can still run those counties if you want, I am sure W9TY wouldn't 
mind working them himself!

Howdy,

The rules state that CW/digital are worth 2 pts.  I'massuming that once a station is worked on CW, you can't work them again
on PSK31.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  :)

However, the rules also talk about a plaque for "the highest raw CW only QSO total" -- does this exclude digital contacts?

I doubt that there will be much PSK31 activity during this contest -- but I'm wondering if digital Qs are lumped together with CW for this particular award?


Show of hands..... anyone else actually planning to solicit Qs on PSK31 during the contest?

You are correct: if you work a station on 40 CW, you don't get credit
for working them on 40 on any other digital mode.

I suppose the new award could be modified to say "highest raw digital
only QSO total".  I'll stick my neck out and say this would be the case.

I do not plan any significant amount of non-CW digital operation as a
mobile this year :)

Message-ID: <25550FE81EE6584BAE729C535FA3A6E9991CF6@FOSS40.foss.net>

If you log in any computer program for ILQP, please send the output file
to n9jf@arrl.net as an attachment.

Cabrillo files are OK (though they are not all the same, I can deal with
that.)  If you can't figure out Cabrillo, send a text file, an Excel
file, or anything I can open in Excel in columns. 

Please do NOT send PDF files, screen shots of log files, or anything
that cannot be edited.

If you log on paper, you may submit a paper log. If you submit a paper
log with over 100 QSOs, you must submit a dupe sheet.  If you submit a
paper log, you must submit a summary sheet.  Please don't log on a
computer and send the printout without the electronic version!! You may
also send electronic files on disk. Send disks and hard copy submissions
to WIARC, PO Box 3132, Quincy IL 62305-3132.  

If you log on paper, you may still type your log into Excel and send it
as an attachment to n9jf@arrl.net.  What you will have done is exactly
what we are otherwise going to need to do, and the committee will thank
you!!!

If you submit an electronic log, a summary sheet is recommended, just to
help us be sure you get proper credit (i.e., we will check more
carefully to see who goofed if your calculations don't agree with ours).
However, with electronic submissions, summary sheets and dupe sheets are
not *required*.

I hope this answers most of the submission questions.  If not, please
ask; I usually have an answer, even if it isn't an intelligent one :)

Hi Chuck,

You are on the map correctly but I see I didn't get you corrected on the 
list. I have a couple of corrections, so I will probably send in another 
update Friday and your listings on the map and list should be correct 
(finally).

I have heard much said on either side concerning digital modes. Just to let everyone know, we will be trying forge a new path this year and promote digital ops. For those of us who are CW-challenged, it's a way to compete with the 'big guns' score-wise. I hope those of you who have digital capability will set up for it and watch for KC9FQV/p on PSK31 from Will Co.

I intend to try digital although I will not be using my own equipment, 
so I can't say for sure I'll have a working interface yet. I intend to 
try PSK and maybe RTTY, if things get slow.

I also plan on calling on 50.130 SSB and 144.210 SSB every once in a while.

It has been very hard to get any digital activity on the ILQP so far, 
but there are a number of potential contacts to be made by those that do 
nothing but digital and may introduce some new activity.

You are right Chuck, making a few QSO's on digital modes will not make 
up the points missed by not using CW, but if one does not do any CW, 
they are points that would not have been made otherwise. I agree that 
anyone that does both SSB and CW will probably be too busy to try 
digital modes and there is a lot more activity on CW chasing the mobiles 
from county to county.

Message-ID: <48F8A3E4.7060906@adams.net>

Remember to try to work the same station on as many bands as possible. 
While there are times a station will not want to quit a good run, it 
never hurts to ask if they will move to another band or mode.

Even if you only work 50 Q's and a dozen mults and chased them through 
all the bands, 160 - 2, on 2 different modes, your score would be over 
14000 points.

Those with a large number of active stations in your area, you might 
want to take note.

I plan to operate in the IL QSO Party this weekend but I haven't made 
a decision as to "how" yet. Is it permissible/legit to:

Operate with the Sangamon Valley Radio Club portable operation at 
Sangchris State Park in the afternoon and then operate from home in 
the evening?

Would I let my contacts at the lake be submitted with their W9DUA call 
and then submit a separate log under my own call for evening operation?

or...

Do I need to just pick one location or the other?

Chuck, you talk about competing with the big guns,
but remember, not everyone is "in it to win it" and some people don't
have the skills and great antennas to compete with the even modest
contesters.  For this group of people, I'm sure there may be some
enjoyment in contesting in digital modes, even for only a few hours.

I'm sure there's room for "fun" in this contest, right?  ;)

Tim, yes you can operate with W9DUA as a part of a multi-op and then from
home under your own call. DO send in your log from home, the W9DUA effort
should send in their log which would include any operation you did there.

I plan to operate in the IL QSO Party this weekend but I haven't made 
a decision as to "how" yet. Is it permissible/legit to:

Operate with the Sangamon Valley Radio Club portable operation at 
Sangchris State Park in the afternoon and then operate from home in 
the evening?

Would I let my contacts at the lake be submitted with their W9DUA call 
and then submit a separate log under my own call for evening operation?

or...

Do I need to just pick one location or the other?

Tim, N9PUZ

Chuck, you talk about competing with the big guns,
but remember, not everyone is "in it to win it" and some people don't
have the skills and great antennas to compete with the even modest
contesters.  For this group of people, I'm sure there may be some
enjoyment in contesting in digital modes, even for only a few hours.

I'm sure there's room for "fun" in this contest, right?  ;)

Just my 2 cents...While I like to see new modes used,  there is really 
no way to compete with the big guns without using CW.  There is no way you 
can rip PSK QSO's out as fast as CW.  But, but, it is better than nothing! 
Just don't feel too let down....If something happens where my rate drops BIG

time, I'll check the digital freqs, but, in an 8 hour party, it's not likely

I'll make it.

If you are cw challenged, why not use your interface to help copy the 
code??? I know of at least one big gun that uses that to help out.

Please post after the party, and let us know how much activity, and which 
bands were the most productive.

Danny,

Amen!  I have no illusions of ever being able to bring home a plaque.
However, I will be working towards one of the new single county portable
certificates this year.  Let's face it, a one or two county operation will
probably never be able to compete with portables set up on a three or four
county corner.  I am not a CW operator which makes it difficult to compete
with the dual mode operations.  Bottom line:  Wife & I love to camp, and the
QSO parties are a great excuse to go camping & operate on the radio in one
fell swoop.

Someone expressed the thought that PSK31, RTTY, or other digital mode would
be a way to compete with the stations running CW.  The 2 problems with that
idea are QSO rate & number of stations available to work.  Yes, it is a way
to get some 2-point QSO's, but not at the same level as the CW ops.

Anyway, it is time to go finish loading the camper & head for Lincoln Trail
State Park.  See you all on Sunday.

Camping out sounds like a lot of fun.  Maybe a little chilly.  Will you be in a tent or a hardside camper?

Will you be operating indoors or outdoors at the park?  I'm curious what you'll use for an antenna.  

Sounds like fun - good luck in ILQP!

Steve,

Go to http://k9dur.info.  Click on "Photo Album" and then click on "Portable
Operations".  This will take you to a page with pictures from our setup in
Cave-In-Rock State Park (Hardin County) last year for the 2007 ILQP.
Clicking on a picture will display a full-size image.

Camper is a hard-sided pop-up trailer called an A-Liner.  It has R6
insulation & a 16,000 BTU furnace, so we will NOT be cold.  Last year, we
set up outdoors.  Plan on doing the same this year.

1st picture shows details of the antenna system if you click on it &
download the full-size image.  It consists of pairs of HamStick-style mobile
whip antennas mounted in a dipole configuration on a 21-foot push up mast.
With the push-up mast & quick-disconnects on the mobile whips, changing
bands take only a minute or so.  I have whips for all bands 75m-6m except
for 30m.  Mounted above the whips is a 2m/70cm J-Pole antenna.  Not the
greatest portable antenna setup, but it is quick & easy and works quite
well.  When you get as old as I am, the quick & easy part counts for a lot.

The rig is a Yaesu FT-847 with an LDG AT-100Pro automatic antenna tuner.  I
use my HP laptop with N1MM Logger for logging & rig control.

If I am in the middle of a run and you ask "QSY?", I will let you know
where and approximately when :) I hope to be able to move almost
immediately from 40 to 80 and back, but 20 will take 20 seconds or so

Remember to try to work the same station on as many bands as possible. 
While there are times a station will not want to quit a good run, it 
never hurts to ask if they will move to another band or mode.

Even if you only work 50 Q's and a dozen mults and chased them through 
all the bands, 160 - 2, on 2 different modes, your score would be over 
14000 points.

Those with a large number of active stations in your area, you might 
want to take note.

Be prepared for a "swarm" of VE1/VE9/VY2 (and maybe VO1/VO2/VY0???)

Likely suspects are:  VE1RGB, VE1SKY, VY2SS, VY2LI, VE1DHD, VE9DX,
VA1CHP, VE1AI, VE1AWP, VE1AYN, VE1FA, VE1OP, VE1DT, CK1BVD, and perhaps

There are 26 counties for which there have NEVER been fixed or portable

Didn't we shave 2 hours off of the contest?  That'll make it harder to break any existing records.

Hope everyone has their antenna work all done... its getting cold out!

Be aware that there are several counties, states and provinces for which
the current scoring records are very reachable.  Good way to get some
new "names in lights" in this year's contest.

http://www.w9awe.org/ILQP%20Records.pdf

Fixed stations: raw scores
Portable stations: raw scores divided by number of counties 

There are 26 counties for which there have NEVER been fixed or portable
score submitted!!  Also some states and provinces....  Fourteen counties
have records under ten thousand points.  Twenty-six states, provinces
and countries have records under ten thousand points....

Go get 'em.

One day, 18 hours, 46 minutes until kickoff.

Chuck,  you talk about competing with the big guns,

have the skills and great antennas  to compete with the even modest

enjoyment in contesting in digital modes, even  for only a few hours.

I'm sure there's room for "fun" in this contest,  right?  ;)

Just my 2 cents...While I like to see  new modes used,  there is really 
no way to compete with the big guns  without using CW.  There is no way you 
can rip PSK QSO's out as fast  as CW.  But, but, it is better than nothing! 
Just don't feel too let  down....If something happens where my rate drops BIG 
time, I'll check the  digital freqs, but, in an 8 hour party, it's not likely 
I'll make  it.

If you are cw challenged, why not use your interface to help copy  the 
code??? I know of at least one big gun that uses that to help  out.

Please post after the party, and let us know how much activity,  and which 
bands were the most productive.

A reminder that the Scout Jamboree on the Air is again scheduled for
this weekend, and the suggested frequencies are very similar to those
for ILQP.  Let's conduct ourselves so as to present a favorable image of
ham radio to this group!

Be extra careful to check for clear frequencies before CQing.

If calling or called by JOTA stations, take an extra minute or two to
thank them for the contact and perhaps "light a fire for ham radio" for
a young person.

Thanks! 73, Jim N9JF

It just *seems* too short unless you are freezing go death on a picnic

Yeah!  Looks like I WILL be able to operate portable in JoDaviess 
County, as planned.  Recent family emergencies have subsided enough to 
allowed a freed up weekend. 

Had to do some digging through boxes as a result of packing up from a 
first floor flood-out.  My JODA go-box, as I call it, had everything in 
it for the antenna setup (sloped G5RV, masting, ropes, etc.).  Last time 
I had it opened was packing out from JODA last year.  It paid to pack it 
right for the trip back.

I will start out from LAKE Co. in the morning and should be setup by 
Saturday evening for op-testing/debugging.

Catch you guys on Sunday!

Message-ID: <48F94733.3080300@adams.net>

I just talked with N0PB in Missouri and he will be looking for 6 and 2 
meters SSB operators during the QSO party. Phil suggested to check 
144.210 right after checking 50.130 SSB right at the top of the hour.

Those of you active on 2 SSB know Phil has a potent station on 2 meters 
and it is routine for him to work stations all over the state of 
Illinois any time of day or night. Phil is west of Hannibal, MO about 40 
miles, so he isn't that far away. Hopefully Phil will get on HF as well, 
although he does tend to spend more time of VHF and up.

Tim, you are correct as to the current rules.  Recently, however, the
suggested phone frequencies were 3890, 7290 and 14290.

We should revisit these suggestions before next year in light of the new
frequency allocations for SSB.

We should revisit these suggestions before next year in light of the new
frequency allocations for SSB.

73, Jim N9JF

Hi all:

Not 100% sue on this yet, but there is a chance that we *may* not be in 
Will Co. after all. Just having issues finding a place where we can park 
the Trailer and run a genset. We were looking at either a local or 
county park, but not sure if we can do that without some kind of permit.

I'll try and post in a little while if plans change. If they do , we 
will be in KANE.

My off the shelf G5RV is giving me problems this?year or maybe it is my coax...? Will check things out in the morning.? Too dark outside right now to safely work on it..? 

SWR is lousy on this ant.? Tuner in rig?is only able to help so much.

Limited to...

80m CW - OK
80m SSB - only over?range of 3600-3650

40m SSB? ONLY (CW portion horrible, ant resonant tooo high)

20m ALL OK

Will update?in the morning, if I can figure out what is wrong.

Oh...great.  I thought I had checked and there weren't any ....

 

Well, the only likely problem will be on 40.  Just head down the band to
find daylight and generate noise.

Yeah, good suggestion.  Next year, I think we'll suggest just above the bottom edge of the General SSB limits?

Is N1MM still the logging program of choice (if you use computer logging)?
I know last time I used it the scoring was not totally accurate.  Has that
changed?  I have not updated the software for a while.

I like N3FJP's Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner 
station, working another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only 
be in one county this year anyway...

Hi all:

OK...looks like we will be in the Plainfield area- probably behind the 
Village Hall if we are lucky (or somewhere else if we're not :-) ). We 
will be running both SSB and Digital, so PSK'ers look for us around 
3.583, 7.073, or 14.070. We will also monitor VHF for any simplex FM 
stations that might be within our range (we'll monitor whatever the 
recommended freq. was (146.49?) W9MSE, stop by if you come by our neck 
of the woods- we'll have a cold drink (or coffee) ready for ya!

We should have up a dipole running either as flat-top or inverted V as 
needed. Also if we have the trees may play with a loop or long-wire. 
Also will have a Perth Outbacker as a secondary antenna...I have had 
OUTSTANDING performance with it working portable HF on the road.

We'll be operating from the Fox River ARC chapter's Comm Trailer, 
TS-2000 on SSB, TS-450 for PSK. This will be my first ILQP with HF 
capabilities, and Matt's first contest, period! Look forward to working 
you all!

Yeah I just remembered N1MM's inability to log more than 1 county at once
for the portables/rovers.  However, I will either have to deal with it or
just whip something up in excel.

Any logging program that puts out a format I can open in Excel is OK.  A lot of them do NOT score the contest correctly, but that is not a big deal, as we rescore everything anyhow.

Is N1MM still the logging program of choice (if you use computer logging)?  I know last time I used it the scoring was not totally accurate.  Has that changed?  I have not updated the software for a while...

Generally-speaking, the N3FJP software output is the easiest to work
with.  The ones that use a single line to log county line and corner
stations take some extra manipulation.  But...no problem.  Work 'em, log
'em, send it in....

I like N3FJP's Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner

station, working another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only

be in one county this year anyway...

Can't you log, e.g., KN9T/MSHL, KN9T/WOOD, and KN9T/STAR on as separate
entries?  That's what one has to do with TrLog, and it's not a big deal.

Yeah, but where most loggers choke is if you have a county line/county line contact, with let's say two 3-county stations, that counts as 9 points, right? Well, the loggers are going to see 3 of those contacts as dupes, even though they technically aren't.

The only way scott could fix the N3FJP logger was to disable part or all of the dupe checking. So the logs work, but it still won't do the Cabrillo properly.

I was testing  N1MM and found that you can out in the call sign/m the 
the county. Something like KA9MOM/M DUPG enter this contact then 
KA9MOM/M COOK then enter. The program will count this as two contacts 
and two counties. Found this in the help section on QSO parties.

I tried to set up a log in N1MM with the latest

contact with the same call even though I entered 
a different county. Anyone else seen this, or did I do something wrong?

I'm going with Writelog for tomorrow. I'll be

One word.. WRITELOG!!!
 
It has 4 fields you enter up to a 4-county line on, all in one keystroke.  
And it scores everything, as far as I can see, correctly. Jim, can you verify  
this?  I'm pretty sure it takes all county line QSO's, the 5 DX mults, and  
scores everything right on target.

The only way scott could fix the N3FJP logger was  to disable part or all of

Can't you log, e.g., KN9T/MSHL, KN9T/WOOD, and  KN9T/STAR on as separate
entries?  That's what one has to do with  TrLog, and it's not a big deal.

Yeah I just  remembered N1MM's inability to log more than 1 county at

for the  portables/rovers.  However, I will either have to deal with  it

I like N3FJP's  Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want  to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner

station, working  another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but  you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel  and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only

be in one county this  year anyway...

I would have to go back to last year's logs to verify this.  I'd rather take the next two hours before church and finish setting up the station for K9L.....

As I said, the scoring, while interesting, is not critical, since we take care of that in the final analysis.

I have never used Writelog, or N1MM, or N3FJP, or GenLog.  I get logs from all of them and can deal with them.  Use whatever you have that is least irritating real-time.

YMMV.  VWTLOP.  73, Jim N9JF

Yes, this is correct.  What you have to do is enter separate QSOs for each
county.  This is do-able, but gets time consuming during a pile-up since you
have to enter one county, press enter, then type the callsign, tab over a
couple times, type the new county, etc.  And this is where it stops counting
the points correctly, since it assumes there are dupes.

 

Like James said, not a big deal on his end - but just something to be aware
of.  I didn't have time before the contest to investigate (or buy) other
software so I'm just sticking with it and will score by hand afterwards.

 

Good luck and see you on the air shortly.

I tried to set up a log in N1MM with the latest version, but it was showing
a dupe for a second contact with the same call even though I entered a
different county. Anyone else seen this, or did I do something wrong?

I'm going with Writelog for tomorrow. I'll be fixed from ROCK. Didn't bother
to let you guys know since it's well covered.

Is N1MM still the logging program of choice (if you use computer logging)?
I know last time I used it the scoring was not totally accurate.  Has that
changed?  I have not updated the software for a while.

I don't know of any logging program that scores ILQP correctly and almost any logging program will show working the same station more than once on the same band/mode a dupe unless you add /m or /p after the call. I also have not found a logging program where this doesn't work.

The only logging program I have used that allows for this is Writelog and our log checker says it is one of the worst to covert the output into Excel

Using Excel to log is very simple, but dupe checking is manual and it does no scoring. A couple of years back, N9PCS created a Microsoft Access module that seemed to work pretty well, but I never kept a copy of it. I know it allowed for multiple counties on a single entry, but I am not sure if it scored correctly or not.

Yeah, but where most loggers choke is if you have a county line/county line contact, with let's say two 3-county stations, that counts as 9 points, right? Well, the loggers are going to see 3 of those contacts as dupes, even though they technically aren't.

The only way scott could fix the N3FJP logger was to disable part or all of the dupe checking. So the logs work, but it still won't do the Cabrillo properly.

Can't you log, e.g., KN9T/MSHL, KN9T/WOOD, and KN9T/STAR on as separate
entries?  That's what one has to do with TrLog, and it's not a big deal.

Yeah I just remembered N1MM's inability to log more than 1 county at

for the portables/rovers.  However, I will either have to deal with it

I like N3FJP's Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner

station, working another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only

be in one county this year anyway...

Hi,

Yes, WriteLog supports the 4-county QSOs and will put all counties into the cabrillo file.  

If the generated output is not perfect for the ILQP log checkers... they should let the author of the module know.

Yes, that would be me.  :)  I haven't touched the module in quite a while (since we dropped the 8-qso/mult rule) because no one has mentioned any problems with it!  I'll be using it myself of course.... 

03:12 to go ....  and i still need to do some antenna work!

Danny, this what writelog does well. If I work you as NG9R in Greene, then  
NG9R in Calhoun, the program picks up on the exchange to make the decision if 
it  is a dupe or not. it doesn't rely on call.

I'm taking off in about 10 minutes.  Listen for me from WBGO, OGLE, CARR, STEP, and JODA counties in that order on 20 and 40M CW (also possibly 15M for Canada and DX; no 80 meters).  I will be the weak station calling CQ, as I amy only 5 watts QRP to mobile hamstick antennas on the car.  No quick QSY available.  About an hour from each county, plus some time lost between locations.  I need to wrap up my operation around 6 p.m. local (2300 UTC).  I will also standby for QRP ARCI operators and give them my ARCI number for their Fall QSO party.  Good luck everyone.

Cheers/73,

Subject: [ILQSO] N3FJP Logger works fine
Message-ID: <20081019155133.4541.qmail@utmi.net>

The N3FJP logging progrmame works well for ILQP - though it probably doesn't 
recognize a "rover" category - you'd set it for mobile, I suppose if you're 
going to be a "rover". 

I used it for the 2006 and 2007 ILQP at four county lines.  You do have to 
enter a contact multiple times in you contact another multi county 
operation, but, that's a small inconvenience. 

It scored my effort correctly, except I screwed up on a few busted contacts. 

N3FJP's s/w isn't free, but for $6.95 or so, it's a bargain.

I don't know of any logging program that scores ILQP correctly and almost 
any logging program will show working the same station more than once on the 
same band/mode a dupe unless you add /m or /p after the call. I also have 
not found a logging program where this doesn't work. 

The only logging program I have used that allows for this is Writelog and 
our log checker says it is one of the worst to covert the output into Excel 

Using Excel to log is very simple, but dupe checking is manual and it does 
no scoring. A couple of years back, N9PCS created a Microsoft Access module 
that seemed to work pretty well, but I never kept a copy of it. I know it 
allowed for multiple counties on a single entry, but I am not sure if it 
scored correctly or not.

Yep, Writelog is great for ILQP, but it still seems to have a glitch in
calculating the score correctly and the output file is one of the hardest to
import into Excel I have used Writelog for the past three ILQP's but since
the laptop I have it installed on is busy running my DX Spider node, I'll
try N1MM this year.

Danny, this what writelog does well. If I work you as NG9R in Greene, then
NG9R in Calhoun, the program picks up on the exchange to make the decision
if it is a dupe or not. it doesn't rely on call.

Yeah, but where most loggers choke is if you have a county line/county line
contact, with let's say two 3-county stations, that counts as 9 points,
right? Well, the loggers are going to see 3 of those contacts as dupes, even
though they technically aren't.

The only way scott could fix the N3FJP logger was to disable part or all of
the dupe checking. So the logs work, but it still won't do the Cabrillo
properly.

I like N3FJP's Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner

station, working another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only

be in one county this year anyway...

I wrote an ILQP logging program a few years back when we still had 
the mult for working the same county 10 times. It worked well, and 
scored perfectly. Used it one year, but quit working on it because I 
don't know how to make it send CW. Guess I might have to start working on that.

I am sure several would be interested in ILQP specific software, so don't
quit on it all together.  I know N9PCS was going to refine his Access module
a little more when things get back to normal for him.

 

I guess I don't consider CW sending a major flaw in a logging program, but I
am an admitted poor CW operator and probably would benefit from it more than
many. I figure my memory keyer does very well for the occasional CW contact
I make.

I wrote an ILQP logging program a few years back when we still had the mult
for working the same county 10 times. It worked well, and scored perfectly.
Used it one year, but quit working on it because I don't know how to make it
send CW. Guess I might have to start working on that.

I don't know of any logging program that scores ILQP correctly and almost

not found a logging program where this doesn't work.

The only logging program I have used that allows for this is Writelog and
our log checker says it is one of the worst to covert the output into Excel

Using Excel to log is very simple, but dupe checking is manual and it does
no scoring. A couple of years back, N9PCS created a Microsoft Access module
that seemed to work pretty well, but I never kept a copy of it. I know it
allowed for multiple counties on a single entry, but I am not sure if it
scored correctly or not.

Yeah, but where most loggers choke is if you have a county line/county line
contact, with let's say two 3-county stations, that counts as 9 points,
right? Well, the loggers are going to see 3 of those contacts as dupes, even
though they technically aren't.

The only way scott could fix the N3FJP logger was to disable part or all of
the dupe checking. So the logs work, but it still won't do the Cabrillo
properly.

Can't you log, e.g., KN9T/MSHL, KN9T/WOOD, and KN9T/STAR on as separate

I like N3FJP's Software...his QSO Party logger works well. The only 
'hitch', if you want to cal lit that, is if you are a county line/corner

station, working another county line/corner station. He did fix it so 
you can log it, but you won't be able to write a Cabrillo file- you'll 
have to export to Excel and send it that way. No prob for me- we'll only

be in one county this year anyway...

As long as you are using version 1.7, just?click on?the "Recall" menu selection.?

I did not spend a lot of time spreading the details while I was doing the

I am not sure if N1MM counted multipliers correctly or not, but close enough

All,

Without any verifying (and I think there are a couple of errors in mults)
the NA9Q results are as follows:

SSB QSO's 301

CW QSO's   0

Mults:     94

Score:  28,294

I need to go through and verify the multipliers as the multiplyer map and
the score don't agree in Write Log.

?
WX= perfect for the first time in about 5 years

Hot Dogs consumed= approximately 35 (and about as many homemade cookies)
?
N9UFO, W9EBK, WD9EEK, KC9HGW, and W9DUA (op- KD4DLL) were on the air. It looks like I (W9EBK) made about 5800 points (mostly phone), and KC9HGW made about 10,000 points. I don't have the scores of the others. KC9HGW worked CW, and I stayed on phone due to interference from KC9HGW.
?
15 & 20 Meters were dead, 40 was long, and 80 was GREAT. I made one random contact on 10 meters with a station about 10 miles away.
?
As usual we had a good number of members come out?for the wiener roast and not to operate. 
?
I am pretty sure the Sangamon Valley Radio Club had several members operate from home. We might turn in a pretty respectable score this year.
?
Thanks to all who participated.

Actually, Murphy stayed away this time, except when I went to top off the tank near my start point, I had no wallet or cash.... still at home in Indy. Fortunately, I had a debit card in the glove box that I use for scraping the windshield, and it worked the very first time I ever used it for its intended purpose.... so I could at least buy gas (for 30 cents more than at home).... fortunately I brought some snacks with me.

No idea how many mults yet as I need to process the log thru Excel..... 494 CW QSOs (345 on 40 alone) and 34 SSB... plus one 2 meter FM with K9DUR... no doubt a lot of dupes as well.... 

Was surprised that 40 closed up so early, as did 20, forcing me onto 80 sooner than I expected... it was rough going at first, but the last hour (in Clark County) on 80 CW was a turkey shoot.... the rate meter hit 150 and higher a number of times. I credit the modified 75 meter hamstick, instead of the small screwdriver I normally use.... added capacitance with a dog food can mounted above the loading section.... seemed to work, SWR was under 1.5 for about 25 KHz

Tried to work NY4N a number of times (he was strong most places) and there are at least TWO loud SSB stations up north  who lissed a lot of mults because I could not get thru. Did work many of the other mobiles eventually.

Did anyone else find that Write Log did not credit Illinois stations with a
state multiplier for Illinois when we all know we worked many Illinois
stations??  Looks like the program scores Illinois to Illinois contacts for
the county just fine but you never get a multiplier for Illinois.  At least
that is what I found when verifying multipliers.

Mike, I think the cabrillo output has it scored correctly.  I know it  adds 
the 5 DX mults the right way in the cabrillo, but, not the score pad while  the

The contest is rescored when the Cabrillo file is created. I would guess the
Cabrillo file was the one with the additional mult. I agree with Chuck, The
Cabrillo is file is probably correct.

 

I used Writelog the previous 3 or 4 years and my score never matched what
N9JF calculated (Writelog calculated a bit lower than what I got credit for,
but I never did dig into why. I used N1MM this year, we'll see how it
scored.

I just re-affirmed Writelog has the IL mult. It shows on the SUMMARY sheet,  
mine was as follows:\
 
119 IL counties/states/provinces
1 extra mult for IL
5 DX mults.

PH QSO's 247 X 1

QSO Points = 247

Illinois Counties = 20

Total States and Provinces = 42

DXCC Countries = 5

Number of Multipliers = 67

Total score = 16549



>From what you all are saying the Cabrillo files for most logging programs are not correct?

Ok then How do I find out what is correct and what is not. Who is correct and who is full of cxxx?

I've been reading your postings and I really would like to know an answer to this?????

I did already send in my log sheet cabrillo file for submission. It was a lot of work and took the complete day and the day before that also working on antennas etc. Also during the contest the tuner shaft for the antenna switch had to be repaired which cost me easily a half hour. But I really, if nothing else had fun! 

Thanks to those that help sponsor this contest and to the judges in advance.

I used N1MM for logging. I looked like it did not count Illinois as a 
state or the DX contacts. I only had 2 K and VE. 40 up here was good but 
    long for most Illinois counties. Only worked VE1SKY on 20, nothing 
else. 80 was great. Hope it's like this for the SS. Running a 718 to a 
half wave 80 meter inverted V at about 30 feet. Hope to have a tri 
bander up next year. Was on the air for about 61/2 hours total. Thanks 
to everybody for a great event.

I almost missed out this year.  Had to take a Pediatric emergency class
this weekend.  But it all worked out.  The class was only 20 min from
home and everything went well and I got out of class at 1400 instead of
the scheduled 1800!!  Flew home and fired up the rig so I was able to
get about 5 hours in.  Now my question is, "is it October 2009 yet?"
I need to start honing my CW skills (pretty poor right now) and get 2
points per Q instead of 1.
Glad to work my friends from Quincy, NA9Q and NG9R (K9L).  Though the
best Q was KJ4GPG in Alabama.  She is 9 years old and just got her
General class and wants to get her Extra.  Had a nice couple of minutes
chatting with her.
That's what makes these QSO parties so much fun.  Yeah you want to make
the Q's and rack up the points and mults, but you can take a min and
chat and make a bit of conversation.  A low stress fun time!!

My results:
PH QSOs 274 x 1 = 274
QSO Points = 548
Illinois Counties = 32
Total States & Provinces = 40
Total States & Provinces = 40
DXCC Countries (max 5) = 4
Total Number of Multipliers = 76
Total Score = 20824

ATTENTION ALL STATIONS.  ATTENTION ALL STATIONS!!!

PLEASE. Do not freak out regarding how your logging program (or lack
thereof) scores the contest.  The level of "automation" being used to
check logs is very minimal.  Whatever you logged is what will be
checked, and whatever is deemed valid will be credited.

No laboratory animals will be harmed during the experiment, nor will
undue amounts of carbon dioxide be created.  

Please send logs as attachments to n9jf@arrl.net, as previously
detailed.

Back to net.  73, Jim N9JF

Jim, I dont know how that you knew about the guys from NS and VE2 that were

I dont remember how many I worked but there was several.

Have to fix all of the fumble finger mistakes (several) before I know a

Does anyone know what NY4N is running as a mobile setup?  He was sure 
loud
yesterday, especially the last couple hours of the contest on 80m.

73s JOhn AA5JG


Thanks for the inquiry John. I have a 2001 Dodge , full size, Van that 
is set-up for only communicationpurposes,  both contesting and 
emergecies. The weekend of the ILQP I decided to use a ICOM 746 PRO, 
100 watts. I also have at my disposal a FT 897, Kenwood TS-50, FT-100 
and a Alinco Dx-70. For antennas, I use Hamsticks, except on 80, where 
I use the Hustler Super 80 coil with the shorty MO-4 mount.  My set-up 
on 20 is a set of co-phased hamsticks (two on same coax), about 1/8 
wave apart and it has some directivity. Seems to work well. My wife is 
the Navigator, Becky, AF4QB. Am trying to get a web page so contesters 
and county hunters alike can keep up with our planned trips. Hope this 
helps!  jeff NY4N

Thanks for the nice comment Mel. I had problems with line noise most of 
the weekend. Sorry I missed you. Could have sure used the Mults. Should 
have my score ready soon. No ladybugs but lots of wooly-worms this 
time.  Jeff  Ny4N


Tried to work NY4N a number of times (he was strong most places) and 
there are at least TWO loud SSB stations?up north??who lissed a lot of 
mults because I could not get thru. Did work?many of the other mobiles 
eventually.

Actually, Murphy stayed away this time, except when I?went to top off 
the tank?near my start point,?I had no wallet or cash.... still at home 
in Indy. Fortunately, I had a debit card in the glove box that I use 
for scraping the windshield, and it worked the very first time I ever 
used it for its intended purpose.... so I could at least buy gas (for 
30 cents more than at home).... fortunately I brought some snacks with 
me.

?

No idea how many mults yet as I need to process the log thru Excel..... 
494 CW QSOs (345 on 40 alone) and 34 SSB... plus one 2 meter FM with 
K9DUR... no doubt a lot of dupes as well....

?

Was surprised that 40 closed up so early, as did 20, forc
ing me onto 80 
sooner than I expected... it was rough going at first, but the last 
hour (in Clark County) on 80 CW was a turkey shoot.... the rate meter 
hit 150 and higher a number of times. I credit the modified 75 meter 
hamstick, instead of the small screwdriver I normally use.... added 
capacitance with a dog food can mounted above the loading section.... 
seemed to work, SWR was under 1.5 for about 25 KHz

You were surprisingly strong for a mobile, Jeff. Nice job!!!  I guess
the large ground plane helps, but I appreciate hearing the other
details.

Keep the logs coming.  I'm trying to send a confirmation message to
each, but it is NOT "automated"; they are going to my home e-mail, Melba
forwards them to me, I then send the confirmation.   Not "slick" but
hopefully effective.  Keep sending them to n9jf@arrl.net. 

I'll post some general comments in a day or two.  Just too busy right
now.

Our group had a great time this year with our incident command trailer
running on generator power.  Started about an hour late due to several
reasons, but still did pretty well.  40 meters was better than last
year, but still long.  80 was very good to us.  Set up a G5RV in the
corn field  (with permission) and had a pretty high spot.  The wind
was pretty strong again, but not as bad as last year.  Also was happy
to get some rare southern counties on SSB that were not on the ILQP
activity map.

My six-year-old granddaughter recently had a birthday party.

After everyone left, her dad asked, "Was it a good party?"
She hesitated.  "I guess so."
His response.  "If your guests had a good time and were unhappy that
they had to leave, then it was a good party, even if you didn't get
everything *you* wanted!"

Sage words.

I would have to apply his advice to the 2008 ILQP. Otherwise, I could
have become frustrated.  My antennas are NOT making the grade.  I felt
"weak as mouse milk" all afternoon, and my score is about half of what
it was last year.  

Positive notes:
1) It sounded like there was a LOT of activity
2) The "Maritime Swarm" was awesome.  At least 11 VE1/VE9/VY2 stations
on.
3) The mobiles I heard seemed to be busy.
4) I think every county got covered.
5) Over half the logs received so far are from stations that have not
sent in logs before.
6) My noise-canceling headphones with a built-in pre-amp are *stunning*.
I can copy stuff that is completely inaudible without headphones.  I
think that's why it seemed so bizarre that most stations could not hear
me calling.  Then I would look at the meter and realize many of them
were not moving it.....
7) I've not heard of anyone who got hopelessly lost, hit a deer, got
arrested, gagged on a ladybug or froze to death.
8) Twenty meters was surprisingly good.  I worked Europeans from each of
the first five or six counties.
9) I was able to walk after not moving from the seat for eight hours.
Melba stopped once (MASN) and returned with a milkshake. Nice.
10) I could read my log when it came time to type it into Excel. Glad I
didn't wait another couple of days, though.....

Other notes:
1) Forty was useless from 2300Z to 0000Z due to RTTY. After that contest
was over, nobody came back to 40????
2) I was weak.



More later.

Jim,

You have hit upon one of my pet peeves here.  Recently there seems to be an endless RTTY contest going on that tears up 40 CW (and other bands to a lesser extent) every weekend.  Now I have done some RTTY contesting before, but every weekend????  I can see things like the CQWW RTTY and WPX RTTY contests wreaking havoc, but every weekend??? For things like the Upper Outer Mongolia RTTY contest?  Has RTTY contesting really taken over?

I don't remember anytime, when RTTY drove me away from any band, 40 
metres included.  Perhaps people who don't have receivers are bothered 
by the stuff, but typically I've been able to find holes between RTTY 
garbage where CW fits in very nicely.

And, my receiver uses 30 year olde technology, so folks with state of 
the art receivers shouldn't have any problemme atall.

The CW folks get fewer and farther between during a RTTY contest, but 
they still exist.

Well, there is no reason I should be hearing RTTY all the way down to  7025.  
I stay away from the top end of the band, all of the time, they  should stay 
away from the bottom.  I had 6 different stations fire up RTTY  right on me, 
in the middle of a run. I made notes of the calls ( a neat thing  the ICOM PRO 
3 does, decodes rtty on screen!), and will keep these calls in mind  during 
CQWW. They won't get a Q from me.

YUCK!!!

Defintely NOT the results I had hoped for.  Apparently, the effects of the radiation treatments were still with me more than I realized.  We arrived in the campground at dusk on Friday evening.  Got the camper set up & went to bed.  Saturday morning started setting up the antenna system, not a big task.  But, when K9JMA had to leave for her quilting class just before noon, I went into the camper & slept all afternoon.  Got up Sunday morning still feeling pretty wasted, but with the help of a friend, managed to finish setting up about an hour before contest start.

Got off to a great start with my 1st contact with VE1SKY on 20m.  Thanks to the NS/NB guys for their participation!  I made a couple of more Q's on 20m & then turned it over to Steve, NT9T, who had come over to help me finish setting up.  He made a few more 20m contacts including a "real" DX contact with our club operation on the other side of the park, about a mile across the lake.  When he had to leave for home, he switched the antennas to 40m for me, & I slept for a couple of hours.  I got up a little after 2000 UTC & made contacts on 40m until my stamina gave out.  Time for another nap!  I got up a little before 2300 UTC and started on 75m.  1st contact was with K9NR in Kankakee County.  But I was not able to make any more Q's on 75m at all.  Stations with signals strong enough that I should have been able to work them easily could not dig me out of the noise.  Also, the LDG AT-100Pro was behaving weirdly.  I don't know if I had a grounding problem causing RF feedback or what, but I definitely did not feel like trying to troubleshoot it.  So, I tore down the equipment so that we could fully set up the bed & called it quits, or at least I thought so.  I still had my handheld connected to a J-Pole at 21' monitoring 146.550 MHz simplex.  Just before the end of the contest, Mel, KJ9C/m, called me & I logged my sole 2m contact.  Also, was glad to put Clark County in the log for Mel.

Broke camp yesterday morning & drove home.  All day today was taken up with my 1st chemotherapy treatment.  (I get to wear a pump 24 hrs/day until Sunday.)  We will start unloading the camper & winterizing it tomorrow.  No rest for the wicked!

I would have to classify the 2008 ILQP as not quite so much fun for me, but we enjoyed ourselves.  But, we are looking forward to a better 2009, hopefully back in Hardin County.

with signals strong  enough that I should have been able to work them easily 
could not dig me out  of the noise.  Also, the LDG AT-100Pro was behaving 
weirdly.  I  don't know if I had a grounding problem causing RF feedback or what, but 
I  definitely did not feel like trying to troubleshoot it.  So, I tore down  
the equipment so that we could fully set up the bed & called it quits, or  at 
least I thought so.  I still had my handheld connected to a J-Pole at  21' 
monitoring 146.550 MHz simplex.  Just before the end of the contest,  Mel, 
KJ9C/m, called me & I logged my sole 2m contact.  Also, was glad  to put Clark 
County in the log for Mel.

Broke camp yesterday morning  & drove home.  All day today was taken up with 
my 1st chemotherapy  treatment.  (I get to wear a pump 24 hrs/day until 
Sunday.)  We will  start unloading the camper & winterizing it tomorrow.  No rest 
for  the wicked!

I would have to classify the 2008 ILQP as not quite so much  fun for me, but 
we enjoyed ourselves.  But, we are looking forward to a  better 2009, 
hopefully back in Hardin County.

73, Ray,  K9DUR

Well,  there is no reason I should be hearing RTTY all the way down to 7025.  
I  stay away from the top end of the band, all of the time, they should stay 
away  from the bottom.  I had 6 different stations fire up RTTY right on me, 
in  the middle of a run. I made notes of the calls ( a neat thing the ICOM PRO 
3  does, decodes rtty on screen!), and will keep these calls in mind during 
CQWW.  They won't get a Q from me.

garbage where  CW fits in very nicely.

And, my receiver uses 30 year olde technology, so  folks with state of 
the art receivers shouldn't have any problemme  atall.

The CW folks get fewer and farther between during a RTTY contest,  but 
they still exist.

Tim and I had a great time at the ILQP this year.   The weather was
great, and both of us had a lot of fun.

At times we had S9 noise on 40 and 80, so I apologize to the stations I
could tell were in there calling that I couldn't quite dig out.   I
tried hard!

Hi Jim,

Just to let you know, at least up here you were much weaker that most of the 
other mobiles.  I was surprised, and thought it must have been propagation 
to that part of the state, but later I was hearing some of the fixed guys in 
Adams, and they were FB.   I know there were some stations that I could just 
not hear who had some pretty good pileups, so it wasn't just you.

Glad we hooked up a few times, but wish I could have worked you more.  I did 
work a guy in Macoupin, but missed Jersey and Greene. : (  . Maybe I'll be 
able to be down there again next year. Anyway, I had a nice afternoon 
working the contest.

My six-year-old granddaughter recently had a birthday party.

After everyone left, her dad asked, "Was it a good party?"
She hesitated.  "I guess so."
His response.  "If your guests had a good time and were unhappy that
they had to leave, then it was a good party, even if you didn't get
everything *you* wanted!"

Sage words.

I would have to apply his advice to the 2008 ILQP. Otherwise, I could
have become frustrated.  My antennas are NOT making the grade.  I felt
"weak as mouse milk" all afternoon, and my score is about half of what
it was last year.

Positive notes:
1) It sounded like there was a LOT of activity
2) The "Maritime Swarm" was awesome.  At least 11 VE1/VE9/VY2 stations
on.
3) The mobiles I heard seemed to be busy.
4) I think every county got covered.
5) Over half the logs received so far are from stations that have not
sent in logs before.
6) My noise-canceling headphones with a built-in pre-amp are *stunning*.
I can copy stuff that is completely inaudible without headphones.  I
think that's why it seemed so bizarre that most stations could not hear
me calling.  Then I would look at the meter and realize many of them
were not moving it.....
7) I've not heard of anyone who got hopelessly lost, hit a deer, got
arrested, gagged on a ladybug or froze to death.
8) Twenty meters was surprisingly good.  I worked Europeans from each of
the first five or six counties.
9) I was able to walk after not moving from the seat for eight hours.
Melba stopped once (MASN) and returned with a milkshake. Nice.
10) I could read my log when it came time to type it into Excel. Glad I
didn't wait another couple of days, though.....

Other notes:
1) Forty was useless from 2300Z to 0000Z due to RTTY. After that contest
was over, nobody came back to 40????
2) I was weak.



More later.

73, Jim N9JF

Subject: [ILQSO] slow CW suggestion
Message-ID: <01d101c935d0$0807ac00$18170400$@net>

I had a suggestion from one of our ILQP participants about a set frequency
for slow speed CW operators (he mentioned 10 wpm). I know, I know, all you
CW operators say you have no problem slowing down if someone asks, but I
know from experience most of you do not adjust the keyed speed back, you
just space the characters out more. OK if the other station can copy 20 or
25 wpm not so good if your best speed is quite a bit slower. Plus, if you
are looking for CW contacts on that given frequency, you will be looking for
the slower speed operators (trying to get their speed up), so you should be
already running at the slower speed. I know from my own experience that I
have to listen to someone's report a few times at 35 wpm (my own comfortable
copying speed being somewhere closer to 17 wpm) before I can be sure I have
it right and I do not like to ask a faster CW op to slow down for me and
break his rhythm. 

Anyway, back to the suggestion. Does anyone have an opinion about s specific
frequency be suggested for slow CW for ILQP. Maybe really high up in the
bands, like in old Novice territory on 40 meters. I think it could stir up a
lot more CW QSO's, but better yet, it may get a lot of stations on CW that
would not normally.

We certainly can address that issue, along with all the "suggested
frequencies".  The downside I see is that we don't want the "slow guys"
to get too far from the rest of the pack, as that will make it harder to
find them.

Maybe sort of at the top of the "suggested range"?

Where do you want to park those of us who send *sloppy* CW on bumpy
roads?  :)

Anyone who doesn't slow down when receiving a call from a slow operator 
should get a big certificate engraved with "Lid of the Year."

I know for a fact that the best way to learn how to copy CW is to engage 
in a contest - my first "go for the guts" contest was the ARRL SS at my 
school club station.  Members cajoled me into running SOLP from the club 
station.  I was at a plateau between 15 and 18 WPM.  After 20 or 24 
hours (maximum permitted for the contest in those daze), I was thinking 
in Morse code.  I'd hear English, but have to translate it into code 
before I could understand it.  After that 20 WPM for the extra class 
license test was a sn*p.  This lasted for almost a half a day.  
Translating class lectures was a real challenge.  Fortunately I didn't

So, tell the slower operators to persist - there's slow CW on the bands 
- look around the QRP frequencies of 3560, 7030, 14060, etc. in 
particular.  Many QRPers send with hand keys, and/or prefer QRS to be 
sure to get info across when running <5 watts.

For the cw challenged amateur, I have to say the Writelog contest logging
program built in cw reader does a pretty decent job.

Anyone who doesn't slow down when receiving a call from a slow operator
should get a big certificate engraved with "Lid of the Year."

I know for a fact that the best way to learn how to copy CW is to engage in
a contest - my first "go for the guts" contest was the ARRL SS at my school
club station.  Members cajoled me into running SOLP from the club station.
I was at a plateau between 15 and 18 WPM.  After 20 or 24 hours (maximum
permitted for the contest in those daze), I was thinking in Morse code.  I'd
hear English, but have to translate it into code before I could understand
it.  After that 20 WPM for the extra class license test was a sn*p.  This
lasted for almost a half a day.  
Translating class lectures was a real challenge.  Fortunately I didn't have
any tests that morning!

So, tell the slower operators to persist - there's slow CW on the bands
- look around the QRP frequencies of 3560, 7030, 14060, etc. in particular.

For those with an "effective CW speed" of around 10 wpm, there are some possibilities:

1) Search and Pounce, find a station calling CQ, listen to some exchanges from him,  get a letter or two at a time, call *AT YOUR SPEED* when you "have it", work the guy. (Note: we ALL started this way!!)
2) CQ *AT YOUR SPEED*.  Callers should slow down to *YOUR SPEED*.  If they don't, either ask "PSE QRS" or ignore them.  
3) Use one of the software programs that decodes CW.  I've never tried them, but they apparently work fairly well?

In most of the QSO parties, most stations send 20-30 wpm.  One exception is K8MR, who is more like 40 unless he gets rolling, then the sky is the limit.

In some of the DX tests, some DX stations send so fast I can't copy them. One HC station whose call escapes me at the moment (HC2G?) is probably above 50 wpm.....

When replying to a CQ, just send your call, NOT the other's call.  And, 
DO send at YOUR speed.  If the other op doesn't slow down, consider him 
a LID, which he is.

And, whilst CW decoders work, none that I've seen are as good as the ear

stations.  Practice, practice, practice maketh perfect.

I agree with Hank, CW decoders are very poor as a general rule. And asking a station to QRS seldom gets a station to actually slow down to the slower stations speed (I know this from experience). Like I said in an earlier post, most ops tend to just space out their characters more when they try to slow down, rather than actually cutting the speed back. With most memory keyers it is a very simple adjustment. With some of the logging program that send CW, a simple keystroke or two works.

Now, a question for you cw ops, in a typical ILQP or any other QSO party, how many times do you call CQ? Out of that huge number of times, how many times do you get a response? I am going to guess 80% or more of your CQ's go unanswered during a smaller contest like most QSO parties. I realize when the rate is high, you do not want to mess with having to slow down, but how about when the rates are way low? What do you do then? Change bands, change modes? Take a break? How many of you actually try slowing your speed down to 10 or 15 wpm for a while to see if you pick up a few of the slower ops? This is the same idea as stopping during a good run and asking for weak mobiles that you may miss before they move on. When rates slow down, we tend to look for something that works better. Slowing down from 30 to 15 or 10 WPM may pick up a few Q's you could have missed otherwise.

I am not really pushing more CW activity for the ILQP (I think almost everyone will agree the current activity is predominately CW now), but I would like to see more operators that want to try CW to have a good experience with it. If they find it too hard to do, they may never try it again.

I agree with Hank, CW decoders are very poor as a general rule. 

I CAN'T IMAGINE A DECODER BEING VERY EFFECTIVE IN CROWDED BAND
CONDITIONS.

And asking a station to QRS seldom gets a station to actually slow down
to the slower stations speed (I know this from experience). Like I said
in an earlier post, most ops tend to just space out their characters
more when they try to slow down, rather than actually cutting the speed
back. With most memory keyers it is a very simple adjustment. With some
of the logging program that send CW, a simple keystroke or two works.

ONE POSSIBLE REASON FOR THIS (I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE) WHEN MOBILE IS
THAT CHANGING THE "SPEED KNOB" IS ONE MORE ADJUSTMENT TO MAKE WHEN I AM
ALREADY "MAXED OUT".  I *NEVER* CHANGE THE SPEED ON MY MOBILE RIG FOR
ONE SIMPLE REASON: I OFTEN CANNOT HEAR MY SIDETONE AND SEND "BY FEEL".
ROAD NOISE IS VERY NEAR THE SAME TONE AS THE SIDETONE!  

Now, a question for you cw ops, in a typical ILQP or any other QSO
party, how many times do you call CQ? 

YOU MEAN BEFORE MOVING?  "IT DEPENDS".  HOW LOUD DO I THINK I AM IN THE
TARGET AREA?  IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THERE IS ANOTHER STATION CQING
AND I CAN'T HEAR HIM? HOW FAST AM I WORKING STATIONS IN SEARCH AND
POUNCE? HAVE I PRETTY MUCH WORKED ALL THE CQING STATIONS I CAN FIND?
HOW MUCH ACTIVITY IS THERE? ARE THERE A LOT OF MOBILES?

IN ILQP, AS A FIXED STATION, (WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN FOR A LONG TIME), I
WOULDN'T CALL CQ MORE THAN 5-10 TIMES WITHOUT A RESPONSE UNLESS I FELT I
COULDN'T DO BETTER S&P.  AS A MOBILE, (AND A WEAK MOBILE AT THAT....), I
MIGHT NOT STICK AROUND THAT LONG.

AS AN OUT-OF-STATE STATION IN A QSO PARTY, I USUALLY SPEND 2/3 OF MY
TIME S&P.  IT DEPENDS UPON THE NUMBER OF MOBILES AND HOW ACTIVE THEY
ARE, AND HOW GOOD THE PROPAGATION IS.  MOST MOBILES SPEND MOST OF THEIR
TIME CQING, AND I WILL NOT WORK THEM VERY OFTEN IF I AM CQING.  HOWEVER,
IF I CRUISE THE OPEN BAND (S) AND RUN OUT OF STATIONS TO CALL, I WILL CQ
A FEW TIMES.  SOME STATIONS NEVER CALL CQ, AND YOU WILL MISS THEM IF YOU
DON'T CALL CQ.

Out of that huge number of times, how many times do you get a response? 

HOW LOUD ARE YOU?  

I am going to guess 80% or more of your CQ's go unanswered during a
smaller contest like most QSO parties. 

THAT MIGHT BE ABOUT THE "BREAK-EVEN POINT".  MORE THAN 4 OF 5 CQ'S
UNANSWERED PROBABLY MEANS:
1) I AM NOT STRONG IN THE TARGET AREA
2) I'VE WORKED A BIG PERCENTAGE OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE
3) I'M BEING QRMED BY A STATION I CAN'T HEAR
4) IT MIGHT BE TIME TO TAKE A BREAK AND MOW THE YARD.

I CAN CALL CQ FOUR OR FIVE TIMES A MINUTE. ("CQ IL TEST N9JF/BOND") IF
ONE OF THEM GETS A RESPONSE, THAT'S 60/HR. NOT TOO BAD IN A QSO PARTY.

I realize when the rate is high, you do not want to mess with having to
slow down, but how about when the rates are way low? What do you do
then? Change bands, change modes? Take a break? How many of you actually
try slowing your speed down to 10 or 15 wpm for a while to see if you

they move on. When rates slow down, we tend to look for something that
works better. Slowing down from 30 to 15 or 10 WPM may pick up a few Q's
you could have missed otherwise.

GOOD SUGGESTION.  MAYBE ONE REALLY SLOW CQ AT THE END OF A SEQUENCE *IF*
YOU CAN DO IT. (I WOULD HAVE TO JUST MAKE THE SPACING REALLY WIDE....)

I am not really pushing more CW activity for the ILQP (I think almost
everyone will agree the current activity is predominately CW now), 

TRUE, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE JUST A "CW CONTEST"

but I would like to see more operators that want to try CW to have a
good experience with it. If they find it too hard to do, they may never
try it again.

I AGREE.  GOOD ARGUMENT.

Mike, I think, like you, that if I was to call at 15 wpm, the stations 
answering me would do the same. Having not done that during a contest 
environment, I can't say what would happen. That is, in part, the idea 
being put forth. If we agree on a frequency for those that can't operate 
at the higher contest speeds, they may feel more confident about getting 
on if they know the speed will most likely be in a range they can copy 
easily. If nothing else, they can all work each other. I am quite sure 
that many of the more experienced guys are looking for QSO's, they will 
work them as well.

Can any of the slower cw ops share your thoughts on this?

I am definitely a slow CW op so I'll chime in here.

First, a good contest to practice your CW skills is the monthly 
Adventure Radio Society Spartan Sprint <http://arsqrp.pbwiki.com/>. 
They are short, a lot of fun, and the ops are very good at slowing 
down to whatever speed you need.

Second, I use a CW decoder but not to decode the CW. I have trouble 
distinguishing various tones from one another--600 Hz and 700 Hz don't 
always sound different to me. The visual info in the decoder lets me 
tune to the station I'm going to call within a few Hz. Being exactly 
zero beat on them really helps get their attention.

Speed differential isn't so much a problem in my opinion when the 
exchange stays the same. If you are doing S&P you can listen to a 
couple of exchanges before you ever call. Even if your top speed is 
around 8-10 WPM most people can recognize their own call when it is 
sent at 20-25 perhaps more. Contests like November Sweeps where each 
contact has a unique sequence number are a little tougher.

Practice, practice, practice. As I said, I am not a good CW op yet. I 
get in a routine where I practice or make a couple of contacts every 
day but then life sidetracks me and before I know it 2-3 weeks have 
gone by and I've lost much of what I gained.

The 2008 Logs Received page on the W9AWE ILQP webpage has been updated to
include logs that have been received via USPS to the club PO Box.

Here is the link to the page:

http://www.w9awe.org/ILQP%202008%20Logs.html

Remember, the deadline for submission is November 20, 2008.  Logs must be
received by email on or before that date or postmarked by midnight on that
date.

It has been my experiance that when a station answers you, their first contact in answering you, is the relative speed that the QSO should happen! Unless they are faster than you in the reply to your CQ. Then you may wish to tell them to slow down " QRS"! This is the way I have always done CW QSO's, and  I was taught that way! Does not matter if it was a contest or what.

In the mean time, for those who have not yet submitted your log, the dead
line is November 20th.  If you have any questions about how to send your log
or the format to use, please post it on this reflector and it will be
