[ILQSO] unclaimed counties

[n9jfcountyhunter at gmail.com]

Howdy All,

Thanks to those who have stepped up to help "fill in the map" the last few
days, especially those who have committed to come help from out of state.
We appreciate you!!

Here's where we stand, for those who have not "checked the map" recently:

West-central:  Greene, Scott, Morgan, Cass and Menard.
I've e-mailed WA9AQN, who usually puts in a full-time effort from Menard.
Have not heard back yet.
I've e-mailed W9RNY, who usually puts in a full-time effort from Morgan.
Have not heard back yet.
I don't have any leads on the other three, but they are close enough to here
that N9JF/M will cover them (and the other two, if needed).  
Those five will be covered.

Central:   Christian, Putnam, Marshall, Stark
W9DY (ex-KN9T) usually covers Putnam.  I don't think he has e-mail, and I
don't have other contact info for him.
Marshall and Stark are a problem.  
Someone from the Springfield area usually covers Christian. I e-mailed AC9TW
to see if he is going to do this.  Have not heard back yet.

N9JF/M could cover Christian if needed, or MAYBE Marshall and Stark, but not
all three along with the ones in west-central mentioned above.

East side:  Vermilion, Edgar, Clark, Crawford, Lawrence, Wabash, Edwards,
Richland, Jasper.
K9WX/M will pick up a good many of those but possibly leaving three or four.
A couple of portables covered most of those last year but have not posted or
are going to be somewhere else. 

If by some miracle someone else caught the ones in the central part of the
state, N9JF/M could go to the east side.  I'm retired....

At any rate, if anyone knows someone who might pick up ANY of the counties
mentioned, please urge them to do so and make their intentions known.  

Thanks, 73, Jim N9JF
