[ILQSO] 2014 Digital Station

[Simpson, Troy]

Good Afternoon All!

Having had operations from our school station (W9GRS) every other year in prep for the October School Round-Up we do SSB mostly operations for ILQP, but with a possibility of digital it definitely would be more conducive for our regular operations.  We have a high percentage of digital contacts during the school year operations and would be more than comfortable with making IROQ digital Q's for the ILQP.  We are capable of 6-20m, but I can string up our 40/80/160 wire for the close contacts.

73's!

Not nearly as fast as cw, however.

Also, there aren't as many layers of stations to work....
