[ILQSO] Mobile/Rover question

[James Funk]

>From the ILQP info page:

Counties OP'd from: Illinois Mobile Stations
KF9D 29 96
KF9D 27 92
KF9D 25 94
KF9D 24 98
KF9D 24 93
KF9D 24 97
KF9D 23 95
NN9K 23 07
KF9D 22 89
KF9D 21 99
W9MSE 21 99

So...to answer your question, KF9D has TOP SIX SPOTS and the record (29 counties); and no, I don't know how he does it!

Subject: [ILQSO] Mobile/Rover question

I have a question for those who keep a record of contest results. Does
anyone know the all time record for most counties activated by a single mobile
or rover station during the IL QSO Party? I am contemplating a run at operating
from 20 or 30 counties as a mobile or rover in a future ILQP. It isn't going to
happen this year as I am committed to a Sangamon County portable operation from
the Red Cross in Springfield. I'm thinking it might happen in 2011. For those
not familiar with my job, I regularly drive 300 to 400 miles per day running
around Illinois servicing banks' ATMs and money counting equipment. I love
marathon drives. My longest to date is Anchorage, AK to Springfield, IL in 4
days. Some day I hope to do the One Lap of America road rally. As I drive
around Illinois I'm always looking for good county line operating spots and thinking if a good operator and I teamed up we
could activate a lot of counties. Looking at the current activity map for the
2010 IL QSO Party I'm thinking my idea might have merit. There seem to be a lot
of vacant counties especially in central and southern Illinois. Maybe we could
have an award for those who spend the time and gas to activate those counties.



Don, W9EBK
