[ILQSO] just over 48 hours to go

[Danny Pease]

In just a bit over 48 hours the 2013 Illinois QSO Party will be starting,
ready or not!

We have a great bunch of mobiles and rovers active this year, almost 1/3 of
the total counties will be activated only by a single mobile or rover
(notice the different colored background of those counties that only have
one mobile or rover scheduled to be there and for a very short period of
time at that). We also have a much larger than usual number of portable
operations, mostly downstate (I am sure that makes the job easier for the
mobiles).

When the latest activity map gets posted, you will see we are down to two
counties not yet claimed, Rock Island and Kendall. I am pretty sure those
will be activated by fixed stations, but you never know. If we do manage to
activate all 102 counties, I believe it would only be the second time it has
happened.

Most likely the final updates to the map and list will be made Saturday,
please take a look at both and let me know of any corrections I need to
make.
