[ILQSO] updated activity map and list

[Eric Lorenz]

Danny-

No prob...I understand! One other note- I will probably NOT be on until
2, possibly 3pm...depends on when things break up at church, and such. I
*might* be bringing our Pastor's eldest son (12) with me to see if he
might be interested in trying this ham radio thing out. We'll see-
definately a little more low-key this year.

I think the problem last year was that we were operating Portable, and
things were not functioning correctly, and so it was just enough to just
make QSO's let alone doing anything 'different'. :-)

For anyone wishing to try digital....I'll make it easy. I will 'go
digital' on the half-hour every hour. I will call CQ for 10 mins. or
until I make no more contacts. For now let's keep it simple and stay on
PSK31! I will always rotate in order of 20, 40, 80 as condx permit (may
not do 80 until later afternoon, may not do 20 in the evening, etc.) I
may pop down and try 10 or 15 even to see what is happening there, if
anything. Standard PSK area (28120, 21070, 14070 7073, 3580+/-).

I think that will make things easy...if anyone has any better ideas, I
am open to them! Let's make it fun!
