[ILQSO] Many thanks!

[Tim Childers KB9FBI]

Thanks to all whom got on the bands this year and gave out the counties.  I 
normally operate from home but have went out in the past on one occasion and 
that turned out to be a year that there was little or no propogation on 40 
meters.  This year I tried both and had a great time although it would be 
much easier to do the mobile or rover with driving help.  The FT-857D and 
ATAS -120 worked flawlessly although only down to 40 meters.   With luck 
that was all that was needed before I had had enough sitting in the truck 
all day and headed home.  The ILQP is one of the most fun contest that I 
have taken part in, partially because I don't really care how well I do, 
just want to put mine and the counties around me out for all the others who 
might want to work them.  My final thanks go to all of the members of the 
WIARC who donate their time to put this thing all together so we can have 
all the fun!
