Hope to be able to fill some of those blank counties.... will try Cumberland west to Fayette, south to Franklin, east to White and then north

Have done the extreme south counties  before at the expense of the northern ones.... so if nobody steps up to take the southern ones, and somebody else can cover the ones near I 70 and I 57, I can go south

I am still waiting on word of a couple of stations downstate that showed
some interest in getting on. W9FX has said he might go portable to one of
the 3 or 4 county corners in the southern tip and there may be another fixed
station or two on from the same area this year. Not enough to interest to
replace a busy mobile, but maybe it will make a mobiles schedule a bit
easier.

Yes it's Randolph Co. It's IL005R for the US ISLANDS Award Program. 
KD9OT was the last one to activate it as far as I can remember. See:
http://www.greatriverroad.com/stegen/randattract/kaskaskia.htm
I grew up in St. Marys,MO, you have to go through it to get to the 
Island. Grew up picking corn over there and learned to drink over there. 
Hi Hi. Trying to get at least 1 more ham to come over and join the party.

http://www.w9awe.org/2009map.pdf

Mel, I interpreted your post as to exactly what counties I think you are
covering and may have included a few you did not intend to cover. If so,
sing out and I will correct it.

We still have many open counties and time is getting closer. If you have any
additions or corrections, let me know here or direct.

I got this from the SMC reflector.

This ought to increase our chances of catching Alaska during this year's
ILQSO.

NG9R


As I mentioned the other day there is a special event operation from AK on
Oct. 18 to celebrate Alaska Day, when AK became a US Territory, and the 50th
anniversary of AK statehood.  Didn't realize the ILQP was on the same day,
but you can work us anyway!  AK doesn't have an annual QSO party event -
apparently not enough ops interested.  However, the ARRL has approved the
KL5O special event operation as counting toward credit for the Year of the
State QSO Party award, so if you hit a dry spell during the ILQP and decide
to go S&P for new mults listen up for KL5O from AK!  More info at
www.kl5o.com .

73,
Gary AL9A

All,The Board of Directors of the Sangamon Valley Radio Club decided not to hold the annual picnic/portable operation from Lake Sangchris this year. Also N9HHE and I will not be available to operate the IL QSO Party due to a family commitment. I will encourage local hams in Sangamon and Christian counties to get on the IL QSO Party, but at this time there is no firm commitment for Christian county. If any mobiles or rovers are going to be in the area I will be happy to give them the location of the county line park.

At this time there is no commitment for W9DUA to be on the air from Sangamon County. I will begin twisting arms this week. I'm?certain some stations will be on from Sangamon County, but I can't say for?sure who it will be. Christian County might be more of a challenge.

The ILQSO planned activity map has been updated. It can be seen at 

http://www.w9awe.org/2009map.pdf

Mel, I interpreted your post as to exactly what counties I think you are
covering and may have included a few you did not intend to cover. If so,
sing out and I will correct it.

We still have many open counties and time is getting closer. If you have any
additions or corrections, let me know here or direct.

Will K9FO will be operating fixed from his QTH in SE Will County.  He
favors CW but will probably operate both modes.
 
John N9YLE will probably operate fixed in Will County also.probably
phone only.
 
Both are with KARS in Kankakee.

Subject: [ILQSO] K9IUA/rover/QRP plans - possible changes or non-operation
Message-ID: <333965.93761.qm@web30505.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I just got word that my daughter might come home from university the weekend of ILQP, in which case it would be my task to return her again to Iowa City on that Sunday afternoon.  If so, that means I won't be operating my five-county rover event as originally planned, although I might get an hour or so to drive over to Jo Daviess County to at least operate from there later in the event.  

If anyone wants to double up and operate from JODA, STEP, CARR, OGLE, and WINN counties just to be sure they are covered, that would be appreciated.  

(I'd rather not have any one need to rely on contacting me, even from JODA only.  As it is, I'm only set up for 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters in my car, which means I won't be very effective late in the contest even if I might get over to Illinois for a few minutes.  For me its operate early in the contest or almost not at all.)

Cheers/73,
Kevin, K9IUA

of Peoria emergency communications group will operate fixed from the EOC to
test some new equipment out.  Go ahead and put us on the map.  We will

I was hoping to do a county line op on Kane/DuPage or Kane/Kendall, but due to my work schedule I haven't had time to scout a good location...and my partner from last year is unavailable (good trailer for portable op). I would prefer to have a driver if I was going to do a mobile op. So, barring any last minute changes, I will be operating fixed in KANE.

The advantage to doing that though is that I will be trying to work digital modes heavily. I would like to work others in PSK31 (unless there would be those that would prefer RTTY). I will hang around 3580, 7070, 14070. I will do phone also, of course.

I hope some of you will have the opportunity to meet me down the band!

See y'all on the 18th,

Kevin,
You can operate from Iowa as an outside-of-Illinois station, then operate as a mobile from Illinois. Just turn in 2 logs. A few years ago KA9ETP looked into doing this. The organizers said?OK. I'm not sure if he went through with it. You might be the first to win 2 catigories in the same contest!

Sorry to say, I can't make it to Illlinois this year for ILQP.  My wife 
is still recovering (quite well) from a back operation, and I dare not 
leave for more than a few hours.

I'll try to be on from here in Michigan....  I'd LOVE to be at a four

probably be Wednesday before I can get to it again.

There are still quite a few counties unspoken for. If you know anyone that
lives in these counties, please take a few minutes to ask if they could get
on for a couple of hours on the 18th.

We seem to be stuck where we are at, few new counties getting picked up. We

My daughter has had more activities come up that will keep her in Iowa City, which means I should be once again fully available for my five county Rover travel to WBGO, STEP, OGLE, CARR, and JODA.

The weather forecast for extreme NW Illinois currently says sunny with high temperatures in the upper-50s.  A beautiful day to stare at corn and bean fields through the windscreen in October while keying the rig.

Putting together a route this year has been extremely frustrating.  I have a minimum of an hour and possible two hours cut out of the middle of the afternoon when I have to be in the middle of Adams County.

By eliminating Menard, I can cover the following:

Brown

Pike (VERY briefly)

Morgan (briefly)

Cass

Schuyler

Hancock

Adams

Pike (again)

Scott

Morgan (again)

Sangamon

Christian

Montgomery

Madison

Bond

Clinton (?????)

I hate to dump Menard, but it was going to make getting to my 4 o'clock obligation "iffy", plus I was going to spend half the afternoon in Morgan!!

I'm hoping KX9DX and/or WA9AQN will be on from Menard anyhow, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I can pick up Christian; will just have to go over the line and sit there for a few minutes.  If you miss it, you miss it.

After Bond is anyone's guess. We might have time to go down to Clinton...or not.

I'm counting on the portables to thoroughly exhaust the demand for Calhoun, Greene and Jersey.  The quickest way to get through my route is to go through Pike, Macoupin and Madison even though others are covering them.

This route is ugly, but it's the best I can put together given the circumstances.

Message-ID: <679CFFB42E24429DB370FD2B81B6A8AC@MEL>

It appears that I can cover all 16 coutnies shown on the map if I operate 25 minutes per county and while driving...... gives me a few minutes slack for pit stops.  

Will concentrate on calling CQ on 40 CW to optimize contacts, and if 80 CW looks good I will be there more than 20 meters CW. Will try search and pounce on SSB on 40 and maybe 75, but  I don't expect to hear anybody calling CQ Illinois on 20 m SSB. Will check 20 SSB early and if nothing much, won't be there again.

Mel KJ9C/m

Order of operation and approximate EARLY arrival times:
Crawford - start
Richland - 1730
Lawrence - 1800
Wabash -1825
Edwards - 1850
Wayne - 1925
White -  1950
Hamilton - 2020
Franklin - 2100
Jefferson   2125
Marion   2150
Fayette   2220
Clay   2245
Effingham   2310
Jasper  2340
Cumberland  0005

Only 214 ILQP miles this year, but still another 500 mile day.

Jim, I was going to be on most of the QSO party from home here in Morgan but 
it looks like I may not now.  My wife is hosting a trip that starts in 
Davenport early Monday and was going to catch the bus in Springfield.  Now I 
may have to take her to Davenport Sunday afternoon.  I will shake some of 
the others out to get on from Morgan County here.  I am pretty sure that 
Frank Anderson, KC9IDX is going to be active in Cass County.  He just 
upgraded to Extra and bought a FT-857D.  I wish I had a mount on my van for 
the ATAS-120 so I could run my 857 in it while I am on the road up to 
Davenport.

Tim, KB9FBI

Can you flush 'RNY out of the woodwork?

Funny you should ask!  I just tried to call his cell and no answer yet.  I 
would bet he could as long as he (or the wife) doesn't already have 
something planned.  You know he will be mostly CW and has a good antenna for 
40 up.  I will work on some of the others around here too.  I had it all 
planned out myself with the new (to me) 1000MP all set up with a link to the 
computer and N3JFP IL QSO party software ready to go!  Darn the luck!

I just got some more information from South of me.  Jim, N9LQF and the K9MCE 
club down at Carlinville are planning for an operation Sunday at the corner 
of Macoupin, Green and Jersey County line.  They have permission from the 
land owner and will operate at least until dark.  He said the guy that they 
are getting the motor home from to operate doesn't like driving after dark 
so they may have to quit early but they are at least going to be on for 5-6 
hours.  He is going to the club meeting in Montgomery County tonight and is 
going to let me know in the morning if he can get some operators to get 
active there Sunday.  Also, he is going to talk to WA9YZM over at Pana about 
being on for Christian County.  There are many hams in Madison and Bond 
Counties that are active on the 444.250 repeater that I can access easy from 
home so just maybe we can get some of them on as well.

I just got some more information from South of me.  Jim, N9LQF and the K9MCE 
club down at Carlinville are planning for an operation Sunday at the corner 
of Macoupin, Green and Jersey County line.  They have permission from the 
land owner and will operate at least until dark.  He said the guy that they 
are getting the motor home from to operate doesn't like driving after dark 
so they may have to quit early but they are at least going to be on for 5-6 
hours.  He is going to the club meeting in Montgomery County tonight and is 
going to let me know in the morning if he can get some operators to get 
active there Sunday.  Also, he is going to talk to WA9YZM over at Pana about 
being on for Christian County.  There are many hams in Madison and Bond 
Counties that are active on the 444.250 repeater that I can access easy from 
home so just maybe we can get some of them on as well.

Tim, KB9FBI

Message-ID: <CB456FDD0C0E3F4C921EA929626309264242E91C49@FOSS44.foss.net>

Just a reminder for log submission for ILQP:   If you log on computer, send the output files to n9jf at arrl.net<mailto:n9jf at arrl.net>.  Cabrillo is fine if your logging program produces that format.  Excel files are fine as long as columns are created for band, mode, time, your call, your location, station worked and location claimed.

If you send an electronic log, the summary sheet (downloadable from the website) http://www.w9awe.org/ILQP%202009%20Summary.pdf is optional but recommended. We compare your claimed score and summary info to the final scoring and sometimes catch a mistake we've (OK, I've....) made.  Don't worry if your logging program doesn't score the contest correctly; a lot of them don't.  We're "different"....  A dupe sheet is not required with electronic logs.

Even if you make only a handful of contacts, please send a log!

You may also send your electronic log on a 3 ? inch floppy or a CD to the club box:  WIARC Box 3132 Quincy IL 62305-3132.

If for some strange reason you log on paper and are unable to transcribe to Excel (which someone else will then need to do), you MUST send a summary sheet or the log will be used as a check log only.

Let the games begin...in about 84 hours....

Another update.

I just talked to Jim, N9LQF.  They discussed the QSO party at the club 
meeting in Montgomery County last night and there will be some operators on 
in that county.  He called John, N9FTA and he is going to email all of the 
op's he knows in Madison County so that will produce a few there.  There are 
plenty of hams that are contesters in that County.  He has two operators 
that are going to be on from Christian County.  Like before N9LQF and the 
K9MCE club are going to be operating from the corner of 
Macoupin/Green/Jersey Counties.  I am still working on Bond County.  I 
talked to Mike, W9RNY and he will get on from Morgan County.  Frank, KC9IDX 
will be on from Cass County.  Frank is going to get in contact with Greg, 
K9GKL in Winchester (Scott County) to see if he can get on.  It would be 
nice to find someone in Calhoun County but I am not sure I know of any over 
that way.  I do know some op's over in Pike/Brown/Schuyler Counties that I 
will get in touch with to see if some of them can be active too.  That 
should cover this side of the state pretty well from Cass over to Adams and 
south to St Louis!  :)  We have also been talking about it quite a bit on 
the Springfield area reapeaters so that should stir some interest from 
Sangamon County.

Message-ID: <4AD73A35.8070100@gmail.com>

Since the Sangamon Valley Radio Club (W9DUA) is not making an official
portable effort this year I will be joining the K9MCE group from
Macoupin County at the Macoupin/Green/Jersey location. Bob KC9HGW will
be there as well I believe.

---

Don't forget that Saturday is the Iowa QSO Party. If you need to check
out equipment it's a great opportunity.

---

Also... Saturday October 24th @ 9:00am there is a "No Host Ham Radio
Breakfast" in Springfield, IL. We will be meeting at the Golden Coral
for a buffet style breakfast. No agenda. Just an opportunity to get Hams
from the area together to swap stories, meet one another, etc. Please
join us if you are within striking distance of Springfield. A similar
event early this past Spring drew around 60 people.

73,

Tim N9PUZ

Thanks Tim!

I would also encoruage anyone near Springfield on the 24th to attend the "no 
host" breakfast.  Even though he doesn't take credit for being a "host" Tim 
did a great job getting the word out for the last one and everyone that was 
there had a great time, even though it was a little slick out that morning. 
Thanks Tim!!

Thank you very much for the Illinois Edible Award.

Can't wait to try it!

 

I'll be looking for you all from the rare (but not as extremely rare as
AA5JG in OK) state of KY this weekend.

Good Luck to all.

If you scare up any action on 10, how about running over to Monroe?  You might be the only one on from there!!!!  73, Jim N9JF

Another update.

I just talked to Jim, N9LQF.  They discussed the QSO party at the club 
meeting in Montgomery County last night and there will be some operators on 
in that county.  He called John, N9FTA and he is going to email all of the 
op's he knows in Madison County so that will produce a few there.  There are 
plenty of hams that are contesters in that County.  He has two operators 
that are going to be on from Christian County.  Like before N9LQF and the 
K9MCE club are going to be operating from the corner of 
Macoupin/Green/Jersey Counties.  I am still working on Bond County.  I 
talked to Mike, W9RNY and he will get on from Morgan County.  Frank, KC9IDX 
will be on from Cass County.  Frank is going to get in contact with Greg, 
K9GKL in Winchester (Scott County) to see if he can get on.  It would be 
nice to find someone in Calhoun County but I am not sure I know of any over 
that way.  I do know some op's over in Pike/Brown/Schuyler Counties that I 
will get in touch with to see if some of them can be active too.  That 
should cover this side of the state pretty well from Cass over to Adams and 
south to St Louis!  :)  We have also been talking about it quite a bit on 
the Springfield area reapeaters so that should stir some interest from 
Sangamon County.

Don't forget 2 meters!

Everyone *ought* to have a radio on 146.550 during the ILQP. I am amazed at
those that pass up the opportunity for the extra easy points as well as
letting those with limited HF privileges a chance to participate.
For that matter, 6 meters is fair game too.

A group from the Wabash Valley Amateur Radio Assn will again set up in
Lincoln Trail State Park (Clark County) for the ILQP.  Calls to look for are
W9EEU and/or W9UUU.  Other calls may be used also.  This will be an
afternoon only operation, so look for them on 40m early.

GREE/ JERS/ MCPN 



You may hear several callsigns in addition to K9CME from this corner, but we will all be together as Macoupin County ARC. 



KC9HGW plans to be in the vicinity of 7.053 for a time and hopefully near 3.550 later in the day. 



You may also hear N9PUZ on 40- and 75-meter phone. 



There will be some 20-meter operation, probably mostly phone. If there is CW operation, expect to hear it near 14.050. 



I heard about some Emcomm interest in ILQP as a good test of NVIS. Some of our 40- and 75/80-meter antennas will be NVIS.

We've generally discouraged the use of the calling frequency (146.52 Mhz) and adopted 145.55 instead for ILQP.  Not as big a deal as it would be in some areas, but still prefer to avoid conflicts with the band plan.

Took a quick look and did not find suggested operating frequencies for this weekend.

Is there a mobile window (i.e.  for only mobiles to call CQ in the window)? We set one up for INQP that made it a bit easier to find the mobiles with their weak signals (how about  3545, 7045, 14045 and 5 khz up?).... 

as for a phone window for mobiles, most of us can't be heard well on 75 or 40 meters so I will be searching and pouncing on those bands....  Might try calling CQ on 20 SSB if propagation looks OK.

FIXED STATIONS (especially you loud ones).... I say it every year and every year there's one or two of you that I'd like to nominate for the award for "Missed the rare one --- many times"....    If you don't listen for mobiles every few CQs we won't work you. I can't spend five minutes trying to work Cook County (again).... but you might like any one of the multipliers that our mobiles will be handing out. Check for mobiles calling you.... I keep a black list of guys that I will tune past because I wasted too much time calling them and got beat out by a string of KW stations in Ohio.

Still assembling the mobile rig and computers... running the K3 this time as the 706 crapped out. Ought to be fun.

As for suggested freqs: yours are fine.  We haven't listed any in recent years.  No mobile window designated but we can talk abouy it for future events.

As for the other issue, "Right on, Brother!"  73 Jim N9JF

CQ and moving the antenna to try an cover.  
 
Though is 1800z in Monroe, work for 15-20 min, then head to Washington. He  
should be there by 1900z.  
 
I'll post any changes ( I'm sure there will be some)

The Illinois QSO activity map has been updated with what I had received by
9:30 this (Friday) morning. There may be another update or two before the
start on Sunday.

There are still a few counties unaccounted for but hopefully someone will be
able to activate them. Keep those plans coming in.

For those who might not have caught it the first time...in addition to phone, I will be trying digital modes also, mainly PSK31 for those others who also cannot or do not do CW. Remember, I a digital contact is worth 2 pts also! I will be around:

14070
7073
3580
All freqs +- of course.

If you'd rather do RTTY instead, just let me know ahead of time.

Hope some of you will come down and join me!

Message-ID: <c89.504e5241.380a91e1@aol.com>


FWIW in the Ohio QSO Party this past August  we used on 80 meter CW during 
the daytime, when there would normally be little  activity, a "mini-window" 
of exactly 3545, the official center frequency.   We asked fixed stations to 
avoid that, plus or minus about 1 KHz.

That  way a station could have a second receiver sitting on 3545, possibly 
with a  speaker in the background, and if any activity was heard it would 
likely be a  mobile or somebody working a mobile. A station without a second 
radio could just  punch that frequency from a memory, and in a few seconds 
determine if there was  any mobile activity.

It seemed to work pretty well. As a mobile I could  do a few CQs on 3545 
and usually stir up some activity. If nothing in several  CQs I was back to 
another band.  I was mobile in 25 counties, and had 80  meter CW contacts from 
24 of them. There were only a few counties where I had  fewer than 5 qsos. 
(By the same token, I did not have much more than 5 qsos per  county until 
dark.)

Until we get some sunspots and accompanying short  propagation on 40 or 
above, I believe strategies like this will be necessary for  mobiles to work 
other in-state stations.

Meanwhile I'm looking to hearing  all you guys in Illinois just fine for 
most of the day on 40 meters, even if you  can't hear each other  :>)


Separately, thanks to the ILQP  gang for the "edible eatable" which showed 
up in my mailbox today. Things must  be going good out there, as the Riley's 
seasoning container was twice the size  of the one I got a couple of years 
ago.  Much good seasoning lies  ahead.

I think this is great idea.  80 during yhe day works.  When I am ouy running counties during the week I am often amazed at what's possible during the day on 80 cw.

Don't forget, for those of you so inclined, that you can "spot" mobiles (or fixed stations in rare counties at http://ch.w6rk.com/.  This site is easy to use, doesn't annoy DXers, and will help assure that if a mobile hits a new county that he/she doesn't just sit there calling fruitlessly after the initial contact.  This is especially useful for those "jumps" to 80 during the day and for those mobiles who are unable to find a spot amidst the RTTY on 40 and have to go down around 7025 to be heard....or for those who might take a chance on 15 or 10 meters opening and actually find someone to work!

There is not, nor has there been, any "assisted" category.  Go for it.


Self-spotting is possible here but is discouraged (executive decision) and may fall under "unsportsmanlike conduct" clauses....

Let the games begin...in about 26 hours...

Another spot on spotting, please remember to include the county of the
station you are spotting. I see a lot of spots indicating the station is
operating a QSO party, but not the county they are operating from. The W6RK
site is very easy to use and does not interface to the rest of the DX
spotting world but if you do use the normal DX spotting nodes, add ILQP and
county to the comments.

Hi,?? Well,? My guilt feeling finally got to me and I couldn't stand to see the only open northern county,? KENDALL,?on the map and screaming for company.??

Hi Bud:

Not sure which 2 counties you were referring to, but there will be several of us taking care of KANE. The map only shows 2 I think (last time I looked) but there are several more that don't list here.

I just put up a Radioworks 40 meter "Superloop", for the ILQP tomorrow, and 
 all I can say is WOW. This thing really plays so far. It's only about 30' 
to the  top, but, just messing around on 40 with the Iowa QP today,  I had 
many  "wow are you loud" reports running only 100 watts.  Neat...builds  
confidence!
 
I have it dedicated to my 2nd rig to chase mobiles while I am on other  
bands, but really thinking of moving to the run rig!

40 went long awfully early today.  Don't overlook 80/75 if you want in-state contacts.  

I have to head for the Carolinas Sunday night.  Rather than land 150 miles from home and have to come back and then retrace my steps, I'll be traveling w/o benefit of a separate driver after the mid-afternoon stop.  

Lacking a second mag-mount, all contacts will be made on the mini-Tarheel.  

I'll be the weak mobile that is logging on paper while driving.  Carefully.

Let the games begin...in 19 1/2 hours. 73, Jim N9JF

You may be able to scare up something tomorrow during the party if only locals.  Or there may be some brief sporadic E propagation.  I worked a station in West Virginia last week from my mobile on 20, 17 and 15, and it's likely we could have worked on 12 and 10 as well except I ran out of the county and was fighting traffic.

NA9Q posted the latest map around mid-morning and I will put together
another one yet tonight. I can't say for sure when or if it will get posted,
but if and when it does get uploaded, it will most likely be the last one. I
have been gone about all day and just got home, haven't read though all my
emails yet.

My prediction is for 75/80 to be the money band tomorrow. 40 will be good
for most of the US and 20 may provide some good DX.

I will be operating with AB9QW and we will be checking 75 meters early, even
before 2000 UTC.

Looking back at my logs from the few years, I noticed in '07, I made  VERY 
few instate QSO's, and I remember that year. Was horrible. I made my 1st 80  
meter QSO about 2 PM.  Now, i don't see it like that this year, but, it  
indeed go long.  Iowa guys were BOOMING in here, so, hopefully the N. ILL  
bunch will be loud here.

I think I am set for the QSO party.  I won't be home because I have to 
travel North to Davenport soooooooo I have rigged up a mount for the 
ATAS-120 on the van and will operate on the way up and back mobile.  We 
should be leaving shortly after the party starts.  Starting in Morgan then 
Cass, Schuyler, McDonough, Warren, Mercer and Rock Island.  I will be 
traveling back before the party is over in the reverse order of course.  It 
looks like most of those counties will be covered fairly well.  Because of 
the limitations of the antenna I won't be able to go down to 75, its 40 and 
up for me.

Don't forgot to get on 20 from time to time at the beginning of the contest to give us out of state guys a chance at early QSOs with Illinois.  Iowa was coming in very nicely today on 40 from 3pm or so.  Didn't get on before because the OU/Texas game was on and you don't want to risk TVI around here when that is on.

Dan, NG9R has sent me the final version of the planned activity map for the
2009 ILQP.

The final map was uploaded to the ILQP web page at 1 AM CDT.  If you
downloaded a copy prior to that time you may want to take a look for last
minute additions or changes.

Good luck to all later today and we hope to see everyone on the bands in a
few hours.

Don't forget to check for mobiles frequently, monitor 146.55 MHz and 50.125
MHz.

I will be on from Madison County, mostly SSB, but I may venture to CW.? Starting on 20, will also sporadically check 15 and 10. Will? be heading to 40 and 80 from there for the in-state folks.

Only running a dipole and 100 watt, so listen for me as SOLP.? I may set up 6 and 2 as well.

K9PG and NN1N will be mobile from Calhoun to Cook via Greene, Jersey 
Macoupin, Montgomery and points north.  Probably will start in Pike (maybe 
even Adams) as they were still fine-tuning the station in Quincy at 1600Z.

Got home from my niece's baptism, got ready to go. 

Unboxed the shack: logging check, tuner-check, amp-check, ts940-dead. 

Not fuse or "timer button" related.. Spent an hour to try and get it going.. no joy. 

Walked away from it and declared it is now beer time before I smashed it.. 
Tomorrow's another day. I surely hope COOK was represented, and the

McHenry County RACES/ARES operated as K9ESV again this year. We run as a 
multi-multi, and don't submit an official score.
However, we have a lot of fun, and everyone gets a chance to operate!
We operate Field Day style from the McHenry County Government Center in 
Woodstock using the EMA command vehicle.  We had dipoles strung for 40 
and 80,
and loops for 2 and 6 and an FM vertical.
A little slow out of the gate on HF- both radios had mike gain set too 
low- when N2BJ has a hard time hearing you, you know the problem is on 
your end!!!
80 was a bit quiet- for a while, the only stations heard were a half 
dozen ILQSO'rs.  Spent a bit of time on 40, and got a couple of nice 
runs going- pulled the plug at 4:30 so the Emcomm vehicle could get back 
to the barn before dark- had the pleasure of giving my frequency to a 
mobile/QRP station- forgot the call and county, but he had a reasonably 
clear frequency to manage!

So, another fine contest to close out the portable year- great weather, 
lots of operating, fresh sqeezed cider, and no mosquitos.

73, and looking forward to next year!

Hi all:

Had a great time this year...

Prelim numbers...

94 Phone QSO's
53 Mults
4,982 Claimed score

Score about on par w/ last year 117 Ph QSO/7,492)- I got a bit of a slow 
start (12:45-ish), and had to break off at about 5:45pm to lv. for the 
week on the road in WI. Antenna was a fan dipole for 80/15, flat-top, at 
about 30'. Primary bands were 80, 40, 20 and 2, but prob better than 70% 
of my Q's were on 80/40. Tried 10 for a bit was feeling a little 
stressed so I didn't spend much time there. I had planned this year 
(again) to try PSK in order to up the score but once again was vexed by 
equip issues. This time it was bad RF getting into my signal (that was 
affecting EVERYTHING)...turns out it appears my SignaLink USB is 
malfunctioning somehow. At first, it wasn't working right, then it 
stopped working at all. So, taking it out of the loop made the RF go 
away, and once again the best-laid plans go south. W/O a beam, hard to 
hear the mobiles, or a lot of the Southern counties. For some reason, 
seems my dipole is somewhat deaf south of Sangamon Co.

Looking forward to next year...with everything going on , it was hard to 
plan a mobile/rover op, and as far as digital...maybe next year...!

Thanks to the WIARC gang for all their hard work.

The first two hours were brutal, as 20 already had gone long,?and 40 was not yet open.? Things started to improve by mid-afternoon on?40, and then 80 by ealry evening. Both 40 and 80 had little noise and were pleasant to work, once things picked up on thos bands. Actually made a few CW contacts this year (with a straight key!) as PH K's were few and far between at times.? HF contesting without sunspots is no fun.? 

Sweepstakes in a few weeks may be tough again this year. IQP is a great warm-up for Sweeps, however. Heard many SMC club members on the air this year from their respective counties.

Mine didn't fair too well.  As mobile I heard nearly nothing but long range 
stuff on 40 meters.  The few times I called CQ I had no responce. The 
ATAS-120 wouldn't allow for 80 meter ops, not a good choice for the 
propagation this year.   I was on the road from around 1PM to a little after 
4PM and made one contact with N9DT on 2 meter FM in Schuyler county while I 
was driving through that county.  Next year if I go out (or am forced to) be 
on the road I will make sure to have the Hustler mounted with 80 and 160 
loads!

73 all and thanks to the WIARC for a great job hoasting this event!

First, a big thank you to the organizers who put in the effort for this 
event each year.

This year I operated with the Macoupin County ARC from a pasture where 
Green, Jersey, and Macoupin Counties meet. It was a 'field day' sort of 
operation with 3 individual stations in the same field. It was a great 
location with plenty of antenna space. The weather cooperated and aside 
from a bit of wind it was a fine day for portable operating.

40 Meters seemed long all day and got longer as the day progressed. I 
was operating SSB under my own call (N9PUZ) using battery power. We had 
been interested in seeing what sort of results we would get with an NVIS 
antenna. With the band going long the answer was "not much". (The 
antenna was an emergency type setup with a loop suspended very near the 
ground on electric fence posts.) The only Illinois county worked was 
Lake but there were several out of state contacts that I didn't expect.

After a couple of hours we switched 40 phone to a vertical and had much 
better success but still no Illinois contacts by that time.

The 20 Meter SSB operator (K9MCE) using the club call fared better with 
out of state participants.

Another station on 40 Meter CW fared best of all. Bob (KC9HGW) made more 
Illinois contacts and out of state contacts than anyone. He was using a 
conventional inverted-V setup with the apex about 30 feet or so.

Handing out three counties at the same time is interesting. Since most 
participants aren't expecting it repeats are the norm. Over the course 
of the day there were a couple of really fun moments. We gave a station 
in Maine 'Jersey' county which was the last one he needed to have worked 
all 102 Illinois counties. Another station worked had five Illinois 
counties left to go and we gave him 2 in a single contact.

If everyone who participated had as much fun as I did the event was a 
huge success.

Tim, N9PUZ

Subject: [ILQSO] ILQP from Oklahoma
Message-ID: <401887.11845.qm@web45111.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

For the ILQP this year everything was falling into place:
1. The family had other plans for most of the day allowing for undisturbed opeating
2. I worked a little of the IAQP the day before and found excellent condition on 40 between Iowa and Oklahoma
3. The Cowboys were off yesterday so didn't have to worry about TVI during their game-unfortunately Dallas is the popular team here
4. I already worked the Midway DXpedition on 40 and 80 so didn't have to stay up late Saturday night or get up early Sunday to try and work them, so I would be well rested for the ILQP.

Everything just looked perfect, but alas, I have to join the Cubs fans and say "WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR".

At the start of the contest there was no propagation between IL and OK on 20m.  I could hear some stations working IL stations but couldn't hear the IL station. No problem, I will just go to 40m and slug it out there, and hope the band is already long.  Tuned to 40m and was greeted with an S8 noise level.  That was with the 300hz CW filter in line so you can guess how band the noise really was.  I could hear only the loudest stations on CW.  The noise was only 30khz wide but of course it chose 7040 to 7070 for the 30khz, taking out all of the ILQP frequencies.  Since things were much quieter higher up I spend much more time than usual on SSB working stations there.

I don't know where this noise was coming from, but it sure was frustrating.  It wasn't there on Saturday for the IAQP.  It would briefly stop from time to time, so I might start working a mobile station but when their exchange came so did the noise, completely taking them out. I apoligize to all of the mobiles whom I frustrated in that way.  I was pretty much limited to working loud fixed stations the first half of the contest.  I think the only mobiles I could hear at all on CW were K9AA and KJ9C and even then I had limited QSOs with them.  ALso, I had to take a break every 20 minutes or so just to clear my head from all the noise.  
At one point it was joined by a loud ticking noise that was showing S9 plus peaks on the meter.  The FT857D NB (one of the more worthless ones) did nothing on the ticks.

Finally around 4pm or so the noise either left or moved further up band, so I could start working people on 40CW.  By 5:30 or so 80 had lengthened up enough to start working IL up there but I was then competing with the much louder and closer 3, 8, 0s and the in-state QSOs. Still, from 4pm on the county total really picked up.

I finished with around 95 CW QSOs and 35 SSB QSOs in 63 counties for a total score around 14,000.  Let's hope next year holds better things.

Thanks to all of the mobile and portable stations for going out and really helping with the county mults.  From what I understand it sounds like you had excellent WX yesterday for outside operations.

Message-ID: <d07.61c8d0a1.380e3859@aol.com>

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice 1) obvious long 40m condx, that,  
at times, turned short?  2) The great 80 condx until like 6:30 local, then  
it was like all my antennas fell down?  
 
Back to 40.  Around the start, I heard lots of decent IL  signals.  Went 
long pretty fast, the Il stations I did hear, were weak as  heck.  Then, 
literally within an hour,  the signals were decent again.  Then long. Then short. 
  Dangist thing I have encountered on  40..
 
80.  Some during the daylight hours.  Went to 80 about 5:30 or  so, and was 
met with huge pileups, of LOUD stations, both Il, and out of  state.  Then 
it began to die.  By 7PM, I was about ready to pull the  plug, as even the 
out of state stations disappeared.  I glanced at the  propagation reports, 
but, didn't see anything weird.  I have yet to look  today.  
 
Also, I'm just a pop-gun, in a city lot.  My antennas at a 135' open  wire 
fed dipole at about 45', Cushcraft A3 tribander on the roof at like 25',  
and GAP Voyager vertical for 40/80/160.  The combo of the dipole for short  
stuff, and vertical for the coasts makes me comfortable.  This year, for  the 
heck of it, I tossed up a 40 meter "Superloop" made buy Radioworks.  It  is 
hung as an upside down triangle, fed on the bottom. The top was only 
25-maybe  30 '.  It heard about like the dipole, a bit more quite. BUT, the big  
surprise as the unsolicited reports on 40 meters telling me how loud I  was.  
a guy in GA said I was 40 over,  a guy in PA said I was  +50.  What? Cool! 
Makes me feel temporarily 10 feet tall!!  And,  this was kinda off the side 
of the antenna!  I think this is going to find  a permanent home here.  
Really am itching to use it for SS now!!  For  a guy with a small city lot, 
anything that seems loud, rules!
 
RTTY.     Ugh.   We need to next year, move  the suggested freqs way lower. 
Maybe .025-.030.  .050 seemed to pretty much  be in the meat of the rtty 
guys.  Never having worked RTTY before, can  these guys hear CW?  Or, don't 
they give a damn, and fire up dead on me  anyway???  At least other CW have 
class, and we work around each other most  of the time. Yeah, we squeeze each 
other, but, rarely ( unless by mistake), does  anyone just drop dead on 
someone else, and not move. Man, that cooks my  butt.
 
Already looking forward to the 2010 version!  Thanks to the Quincy  gang 
for all of the work putting this on, and THANKS for the mobiles going out  to 
make this way fun!

Bud, I noticed the same kind of thing later in the afternoon, only it was on
75 meters. I thought we had an intermittent problem with the antenna, but
the SWR was constant and later the problem went away. It was easily 30 to 50
dB difference but almost instantaneous, from tight in the noise to almost
S9. I did not notice it on 40 meters and it was probably 2100 that I was
noticing it.

Bud -

I was operating with N9FN, and it was a lot of fun... but there were a number of times I thought condx were weird.  I don't have the logs, so I don't know if the times are similar to what you experienced, but there were one or two times when all of a sudden we heard almost no signals, but just steady noise.  We even rebooted the radio, wondering if the DSP needed to be recalibrated.  Then, after a bit things came back to where we could once again hear stations.  

I know that there were several times that stations were calling me on CW and I could not make out anything usable... even after several tries.  I appreciate the patience of all who tried, and am sorry that I missed some.  From our QTH it did not appear that Cook Co. was scarce, but there were LOTS of other counties that I never heard.  Now, in the "second guessing" post-contest mode, I wonder how many mults I missed because I did not tune around very much.  That is probably why I did not snag more of the mobiles... (my bad).

This just my sixth QP between IL, MI & OH... and I still have a lot to learn, but I really like the ILQP a lot, and plan to be back (if N9FN will have me).

Did anyone check the National Bureau of Standards for the propagation 
conditions during these times?  I remember one OhHoHo QSO Party a few 
years ago where we operating Multi-Multi and were going strong on 40 
through 10 metres from about noon until a few minutes before 1 p.m. when 
it seemed that our rigs failed.  We were using a vintage Yaesu 
transceiver for 40 metre CW, and we were about to start tearing the rig 
apart to try to diagnose the problem when our 10 metre op contacted a 
local who told us that WWV or the NBS reported a solar flair, and all HF 
bands were disrupted.  We waited about a half hour or so, and lo! and 
behold! the bands returned to normal.

I also remember a time in 1956 or so when we were trying a sked from 
Denver to a fellow hams' father in Oklahoma on 20 metres, when the band 
fell out.  We tuned other bands, and everything was nil.  In this case 
we literally took the receiver apart to see if a tube had failed.  We 
later found out about an ionospheric anomaly which had occurred.

I thought we had an intermittent problem with the antenna, but the SWR was constant and later the problem went away. It was easily 30 to 50 dB difference but almost instantaneous, from tight in the noise to almost S9. I did not notice it on 40 meters and it was probably 2100 that I was noticing it.

Message-ID: <61A33054E30D4645834654B8004461FB@MEL>

My mobile QSO party philosophy has always been "Carry a backup".... so when my logging and CW sending laptop crashed big time due to low battery voltage, and I therefore needed to reformat the drive and reload Windows, I was not perturbed... I still had another old laptop on Win 98 that has served well in past QPs. I hooked it up late Saturday and verified that all worked as it should. No RF problems, no low voltage problems. Everything looked great to go. Got a good night's sleep and left Indy around ten am.

Arrived at the Crawford county position with ten minutes to spare... turned on the laptop, brought up TR..... made sure the laptop logged, tuned around for a frequency to call CQ.... just before 1700Z I hit the enter key to send a test CQ, and the laptop froze up, display went black, and no amount of cussing could bring it back. With the other laptop at home there was no choice... found a pencil and some 3x5 cards and, for the next 8 hours, over some of the worst roads ever and later in the dark, I logged by hand. The K3 has programmable memories so I set it up to call CQ while I was paying attention to driving... and paper logging.... but I had installed the rig out of reach, since the laptop was to do all the radio control. So most CW was sent with paddle.... (also not planned). (You guys who send by hand and log by hand and do all the driving have my respect... it's tough!)

Needless to say, things got busy and I never got the K3 moved within easy reach, which is why there were some long pauses when I was hit by pileups.... and there were pileups! So busy on 40 meters that I did not have time to get to 20 before I ran out of time on the schedule (had to cover 16 counties so time was tight, no delays were permitted)... later in the day, as 40 went long and noisy, 80 CW was so hot that I often could not pull out calls without setting the K3 bandpass at about 100 Hz... meaning a lot of guys who habitually call waaaay off frequency did not get worked until I tuned around for them.

Down state Illinois roads must be worse than anything in Indiana or Ohio.... you folks have my sympathy... when the roads got real bad and CW was impossible I tried to work SSB .... lots of good action, made about 60 phone QSOs, even had a run going on 40 phone in mid-afternoon.

Putting it all into Excel now...about 525 total contacts but surely there are dupes... my guess about 65 multipliers... 

Thanks to all the organizers, and especially N9JF for organizing the mobiles.

I guess you can never have too many backups....when the primary is an old laptop...

You're correct...logging on paper while driving and operating is brutal.  You are also correct about our roads.  But...we have an ex-governor who is going to be on Celebrity Apprentice!  But I digress.....

I sent all of my CW by hand; some was a lot worse than the rest. First 3 ? hours left-handed while riding, last 2 hours right-handed while driving.  Both hands are stiff now.

Glad you had some great runs.  We sure appreciate your help!

Operated from home for the first time in many years. Being in a 
condo, antennas are not welcome around here so I had to use stealth! 
Used an Icom AH-4 automatic antenna tuner to match a 25-foot length 
of wire tossed out to some nearby bushes. The antenna height was only 
about 12 ft. Connected a random length of wire to the tuner's ground 
terminal for a counterpoise. I'm sure efficiency was low, especially 
on 80m, but still managed to make more than 50 "actual" QSOs - even 
with the IC-706 turned down to half power.

20m was a bust. Heard no out-of-state ILQP activity at all during the 
time I was there. Spent my time alternating between 40 and 80, even 
during the daylight hours. Heard lots of strong downstate signals 
(like KI9A and W9WI/m) on 40 CW during the afternoon. The band didn't 
sound particularly "long" to me; maybe because my antenna was 
essentially a cloud-warmer.

80 CW brought a good number of contacts even with the meager antenna. 
I even tried a little SSB (rare for me) but it was tough going. The 
gold medal for patience goes to K2PEY who worked *really* hard to 
pull me out of the noise on 80 SSB, but ultimately had to give up. 
Thanks for the good effort! Later on 80 CW, I was pleased to work 
VE1RGB in Nova Scotia, quite a long haul for my little wire -- and a 
new mult.

Had a lot of fun! Thanks to WIARC for another well-organized ILQP.

It's the same way with the N3FJP software too.? You have to click on "recall" which repeats the first county information, and all you do is type in the second county name, click "recall" again, type in the third county, etc.? Works well as long as your not fumble fingered like me.? My apologies to those multiple contacts who had to wait an interminable amount of time to get my QSL acknowledgement.? 
?
On a slightly related note, one unforgiving aspect of the FJP software is when you are given a variation of the spelling of a county that doesn't match whats in the lookup table.? When that happens,?the software?doesn't know what to do.? That usually forces a request for a repeat transmission.

Hello ILQP.
I'd like to thank the organizers of the ILQP for the beautiful plaque that I
received for First Place Rover for 2008. It's really nice...carved in the
shape of the state of Illinois. Unfortunately, I was not able to operate
W9TY/M this year. Perhaps in 2010.

When I was living and operating from Dekalb during the early/mid 90s (1993-1996) I would always work Jack in the ILQP and it was nice to get your own county as a mult.  Will miss hearing him during the ILQP.

Just a reminder for log submission for ILQP:   If you log on computer, send
the output files to n9jf at arrl.net<mailto:n9jf at arrl.net>.  Cabrillo is fine
if your logging program produces that format.  Excel files are fine as long
as columns are created for band, mode, time, your call, your location,
station worked and location claimed.

If you send an electronic log, the summary sheet (downloadable from the
website) http://www.w9awe.org/ILQP%202009%20Summary.pdf is optional but
recommended. We compare your claimed score and summary info to the final
scoring and sometimes catch a mistake we've (OK, I've....) made.  Don't
worry if your logging program doesn't score the contest correctly; a lot of
them don't.  We're "different"....  A dupe sheet is not required with
electronic logs.

Even if you make only a handful of contacts, please send a log!

You may also send your electronic log on a 3 ? inch floppy or a CD to the
club box:  WIARC Box 3132 Quincy IL 62305-3132.

If for some strange reason you log on paper and are unable to transcribe to
Excel (which someone else will then need to do), you MUST send a summary
sheet or the log will be used as a check log only.

Let the games begin...in about 84 hours....

Some have mentioned (and I have noticed) that N1MM sometimes just enters "IL" for Illinois stations' locations in the log rather than the county you sent (meaning in the sending stations' log).  There is no penalty for this; I will simply correct in the master log based upon your location.  I don't know anything about N1MM.  If someone out there knows how to correct this and wants to share....

Subject: [ILQSO] Thanks!

Hello ILQP.
I'd like to thank the organizers of the ILQP for the beautiful plaque that I
received for First Place Rover for 2008. It's really nice...carved in the
shape of the state of Illinois. Unfortunately, I was not able to operate
W9TY/M this year. Perhaps in 2010.
73,

John W9ILY (Operator of W9TY/M)

Jim,

You need to enter the 4-character county abbreviation in the exchange field
when you create the log for the contest.

Some have mentioned (and I have noticed) that N1MM sometimes just enters
"IL" for Illinois stations' locations in the log rather than the county you
sent (meaning in the sending stations' log).  There is no penalty for this;
I will simply correct in the master log based upon your location.  I don't
know anything about N1MM.  If someone out there knows how to correct this
and wants to share....

Well, due to family commitments, this was a VERY part time effort from home
in Indiana.  Made 55 Q's with 29 mults.  Hope to be able to get back on the
road next year & operate from one of the Illinois state parks.  Maybe
Cave-In-Rock SP in Hardin County again, or possible Giant City SP in Jackson
County.

You get lots o' points and lots o' mults. :-)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe each of the 3 counties gets mults and points for each of the other 4 counties, right?

Hi Bud, I use their various logging programs including the one for ILQP. 
This contest is NOT where their software shines. It does not 
automatically calculate the scores correctly if either you or any of the 
stations you contact operated county line portable.

As far as questions go... fire away!

The other issue is that with the change in classes, the software is not updated for them...and won't be. Scott has essentially said that versions for new states will not be added...and as rules change, if it is major enough, that version will be dropped.

I know why he has said this is from the website, but I am still a little dismayed. It appears that a lot of his energy is going towards his WXWarn program these days. He is not developing for his original suite of programs anymore.

THanks to all four of you guys who just answered my query.??? 
It appears I picked a loser when I picked up the n3fjp ilqp logger.? I guess he has done a good job over the years but maybe our rule changes have been too much of a job to keep up.?? I? have only invested $6 and will write that off to experience.?? 
?
NOW--? Are there any favorites that you could recommend for me.? I will only be logging from my mobile paper log to whatever program I use.? It's mainly to make it easy for the club to analyze and process my entry data instead of them having to re-type it from my copy.?? I will not need spotting input,? transmit functions,? etc.? Just a barebones program that would take my typed-in data from my paper log and put it into form that can be sent by e-mail to WIARC.???? Whatsa??? 
?
Thanks for your attention and offers of assistance.??

I know why he has said this is from the website, but I am still a little dismayed. It appears that a lot of his energy is going towards his WXWarn program these days. He is not developing for his original suite of programs anymore.

Hi Bud, I use their various logging programs including the one for ILQP. 
This contest is NOT where their software shines. It does not 
automatically calculate the scores correctly if either you or any of the 
stations you contact operated county line portable.

As far as questions go... fire away!

Tim, N9PUZ

Before you write off the 6 bucks, N3FJP outputs a very simple report for me to handle....

I have never used the software for logging, but if it's easy to use, try it.

Sorry for the blank message, I forgot to send this as text.

I found it very useful - and I operated on a four corner spot twice.

Jim doesn't care if it scores correctly.  His is the only one which counts.

Bill,

There have been intermittent problems with the ARRL email forwarding system.
Sometimes the emails with logs attached come through OK and sometimes they
don't.  I had the same problem with my log.  I sent it twice and both times
it didn't get forwarded.  And the emails didn't bounce either. It may depend
upon the format of the log file.

Go ahead and forward it as Danny suggested to jfunk at adams.net.  That should
work.

73, Mike NA9Q

Some of them get caught by our spam filter and I can only get them when I'm home.  Have been on the road all week.  In addition, a few have not.made it past the ARRL server for some reason....

N9LQF and W9OSI operated with the K9MCE call sign. W9OSI had to leave 
mid-afternoon and N9LQF took over afterwards. K9MCE is the club call sign.

Okay, so there were no contacts made "as N9LQF or W9OSI", just them operating as K9MCE, correct?
