[ILQSO] Early County Corners and other portables for 2019

[Dennis Miller]

Greetings all!

Got a number of new ops that want to go see the country side and operate outdoors or want to take a nice Sunday drive playing radio. Also, some add, move, and change orders. It's way too early, but planning for ILQP happens 365 days a year yesterday. 
KC9RVE (soon to be K9RVE) portable Hardin, Gallatin, Saline
W9FE portable Jersey
KD0IER portable Kaskaskia, Randolph County
KC9JLI fixed Monroe
KD9IBH portable St. Clair Randolph Monroe (this was KC9I Scott's SK spot)
W9ABG Williamson Saline Johnson Pope (KM9o) [Yes, along with Keri, my Dept of Corrections, who cooks, cleans, knits, and makes the cabin comfortable, we will try it again at this spot after 4 years.] We move from HARD POPE SALI since KC9RVE is at Hardin.
W9AIU portable Hamilton Saline Gallatin White (600k+ points. This is the minimum all other clubs in Illinois have to set their goals for)
KD0NEO Jackson Williamson Union
K9BGL St Clair Clinton Washington (with an amp this time. And a microphone... try for 400k points this year)
K9GXU Madison Montgomery Macoupin
N9PPJ Fayette Shelby Montgomery
W0RMS mobile Alexander Union Pulaski
WA9JTG portable Effingham
WA4AQW portable Madison
K7DZE Perry Randolph Washington

All of the new folks were recruits found on 2m nets and at the PRIME ARA table this year at Winterfest in Collinsville.

I'll give some detail of how the PRIME ARA went from 5th place with 3 ops in 2009 to winning the club competition 6 years in a row. It's very simple, but it takes a drive to win, and win huge! 

More to come!
