[ILQSO] Counties

[Tim Childers KB9FBI]

All I have to say is WOW!  I can't even work repeaters in Peoria and was 
floored when I worked Craig on 2M simplex from home here with a vertical 
only about 25 foot off the ground!  I don't know how high your VHF antenna 
is but we are 4 counties apart.  Wild contact for the band not to be "open". 
I think I also worked you a few times on HF from the rover on a county line 
and then back at home for my second effort.  Nice job there Craig for the 85 
counties!   Congrats!

Tim, KB9FBI/K9JX
