[ILQSO] Illinois 200

[Henryk Zwolski]

Hello,

The Illinois Bicentennial may raise considerable interest among the 
Polish hams because of our contacts with the large community of the 
people of Polish descent living mainly in Chicago. I have translated the 
Rules into Polish. I will announce the Project and the Rules on my Blog 
(see the link below) and on the most popular Polish SP7PKI Forum by the 
end of July.


Please comment on the following:


Your website:

Illinois State *Capitols* Special Event Stations: *K9K W9V W9S W9I* (Aug 
9-19).

The ARRL Special Event Calendar listing: *K9K **K9S W9I W9V*:

http://www.arrl.org/special_events/search/page:3/Date.start:2018-08-01/Date.end:2018-08-31/model:Event

*W9S* is rather listed there for the Annual Steam Power Show and 
Threshing Bee (Aug 9-12).

The ARRL Special Event Calendar quotations:

Aug 9-Aug 19, 1600Z-0000Z, *W9V*, Springfield, IL. [...]

Aug 9-Aug 19, 1600Z-0000Z, *W9I*, Springfield, IL. [...]

Aug 9-Aug 19, 1600Z-0000Z, *K9K*, Springfield, IL. [...]

Please notice the correct spelling: *Capital *or Capital City in 
reference to Kaskaskia, Springfield, and Vandalia.


Will the State Capital stations operate from those cities (which one 
from which city?) or only from Springfield please?

I also plan to display the artwork presenting your Award and the 
Illinois County Map.

If you have the designs of the special-event stations' cards, I will be 
happy to show them, too.

The same about W9AWE and W9OAB QSL cards.

Your comments and possible revisions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
