[ILQSO] ILQP POST YOUR PLANS!

[Tim Childers KB9FBI]

I talked to KC9IDX today and he has permission to get to the three county 
corner of CASS/MASN/MNRD situated at the edge of a field on the south side 
of the Sangamon River.  The counties happen to meet off of the river in this 
case but it is not on or near the road.  He plans to operate at least on 
phone from there barring any weather conditions that might make it not 
feasible to get in there.  If that is the case he plans on operating from 
CASS.

Rich, KB9IXO and I plan to go out and operate from at the very least the 
SCOT/MORG county line ( I live less than a mile from the line) and maybe 
more.  We may use the club call K9JX but haven't finalized plans yet.

Tim, KB9FBI
