[ILQSO] KJ9C a no-show this year

[James Funk]

I do have a solution: 

KB9FBI in Morgan last year made a good effort at "recruiting" some new ILQP participants.  I know some of the rest of you have done similar things, but this is the "solution" to getting all the IL counties on the air for ILQP.

If everyone on this reflector could recruit 3 other hams from somewhere in the state to participate, we would see a remarkable increase in overall enjoyment.  There are hams in almost all IL counties.  Most would operate from their home stations.  A few would go out and put on a couple of local counties from their mobile stations.  A few would find a good spot in a nearby state park and operate portable.  A few would do this with a group and make it a "second Field Day".  No better time of year than October to do this in Illinois!

The ones who still wanted to do full-bore mobile efforts would be very much appreciated, but they wouldn't be under the gun to cover 2/3 of the state each year!!!

Flame-retardant suit in place.
