[ILQSO] N9JF/M revised

[Tim Childers KB9FBI]

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
