[ILQSO] "Out-of-State" participation

[Jim Funk]

Of the 253 entrants last year, 130 were from out of state. Interesting that that is almost exactly the ratio you found in your log!  I won't take time right now to dig out what percentage of contacts were with NON-IL stations, but it would be very large; many of them make only a handful of contacts and don't send in a log, whereas a larger percentage (I THINK...) of IL participants actually send in a log....

I did an analysis of my log this evening and was surprised to discover that half (220) of my 445 QSO's were from "out-of-state".  And when you consider the number of multi-county stations in the state, it amounts to more than half of my contacts.

I spent a lot of time calling CQ, so I suppose that lessens the prejudice of search and pounce toward Illinois stations.

Do we always have that much "out-of-state" participation?
