[ILQSO] 1st Annual IA QSO Party

[John Geiger]

This is great news, but unfortunately it isn't the maiden voyage, just the rebirth.  There was a IA QSO party in the mid to late 80s sponsored by a club in Des Moines.  Good luck on the contest, and being an Iowa native, I will be there is plans permit.
