[ILQSO] KJ9C a no-show this year

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

Mel,
 
If you need to get it out of your system, there is still room for you to  
come on over to Ohio for the Ohio QSO Party, which is tomorrow (Saturday)  
from 11am CDT to 11 pm CDT.
 
For the rest of you, stop by as well.  We have a great turnout  announced 
on our planned activity list:  sixteen mobile or rover stations,  and fixed 
station activity from at least 75 of Ohio's 88 counties.
 
Illinois should be a nice skip distance from Ohio on 40 meters, and close  
enough for good 80/75 meter action as well. Especially if the QRN is low, 
during  the day check 3545 KHz for mobile activity. We try to keep that 
frequency clear  for mobile activity.
 
Exchange serial number and QTH, multipliers count by mode (i.e. 176  
possible from out of state). 
 
Suggested frequencies are 45 Khz up on CW, and on SSB, 3825, 7200, 14250,  
21300, and 28450.
 
Full info is available at   _www.ohqp.org_ (http://www.ohqp.org) 
 
Hope to hear lots of activity from Ilinois!

As much  as I enjoy banging along a gravel road at break-neck speeds while 
sending CW  and tending the logging computer, I won't be able to make ILQP 
2010. My niece  is getting married in Louisiana that weekend.  Since I went 
to my other  niece's wedding in Seattle, I'd better be in Baton Rouge if I 
know what's good  for me.

Have fun and BE SAFE
