Good ol Jim N9JF has offered to come over to Indiana on May 3 to fill a slot in Indiana QSO Party... Sure would be nice to get a second mobile (maybe from far south or far north Illinois) to help out then, as I won't be in INdiana that day, and I always take whatever counties are not claimed (meaning a lot of driving for one person). Two Illinois mobiles could split the load and allow others to moile further east..... any volunteers? (Meaning also that there WILL be a new mobile plaque winner for INQP in 2014)
ILLINOIS----
However, I agreed to help cover Illinois counties next weekend if we got help from IL in INQP.... and since Jim stepped forward I will try to cover some of the unclaimed stuff in the east part of Illinois... (i.e. close to INdiana)
It appears from the map that KF9D will be covering a lot of ground in ILQP, a lot of it far from his QTH...... I have in the past covered all the way south to Pope and Hardin, ending up in Clark Co to be near to I-70... I could finish in Coles/Cumberland this year. and be just a few hours from home..
maybe KF9D want's to skip those counties way south and I can catch them, too....
In past ILQP I have covered up to 18 counties but, since I am much older and will be driving solo, I probably should shoot for only 12-15 this time...
