[ILQSO] Also this weekend- JOTA

[Danny Pease]

Wendell brings up a good point. Work the JOTA stations if you can but PLEASE
do not cause them any grief. No one person or organization owns a frequency
whether it be a net, a special event or a contester, but we have a good bit
of room to move around in, so let's try to keep ANY conflicts to ZERO if
possible.

You also might check 3905 around 4:30 CDST. This would normally be the day
and time for the Illinois ARES HF net, but it was cancelled this weekend to
allow those participating in the ILQP a little bit more time and space plus
W9FX suggested those that would like to, to get on and make some contacts.
That said, there still may be a few stations hanging out around 3905 at the
normal net time and could be a few easy points and possibly a couple of
rarer counties.

  Just a reminder that Scoutings Jamboree on the Air is this weekend!
It runs all day Saturday and Sunday, 80 through 6m, including WARC.
JOTA Scout Frequencies:
Band     SSB (phone)     CW (Morse code)
80-meter     3.940 MHz     3.570 MHz
40-meter     7.190 MHz     7.030 MHz
20-meter     14.290 MHz     14.060 MHz
17-meter     18.140 MHz     18.080 MHz
15-meter     21.360 MHz     21.140 MHz
12-meter     24.960 MHz     24.910 MHz
10-meter     28.390 MHz     28.190 MHz
6-meter     50.160 MHz     50.160 MHz

Please try to avoid tying these up.
If you hear someone calling CQ JOTA, consider taking some time to talk 
to Scouts.
Most of these young people are somewhat shy on the air, so ask them 
questions such
as:
Name, Scout Rank, Favorite Scouting Activity, their Hobbies, etc.
No need for a long QSO- they probably have many Scouts waiting to make
a contact.

I will be operating a station in a local park for a troop on Saturday, 
and then
putting MCHE on the air Sunday.
Leaves? What leaves?

73,
