[ILQSO] Some thoughts on IQP

[Craig Thompson]

IQP is just around the corner! This is a great contest and a lot of fun.
There are still a few counties that are not spoken for.

We have some very good mobile operators again this year and they put on
quite a show! If you are mobile, please try to use the same frequency so
that we can find you as you move from county to county. Also, the bands
have improved quite a bit from the last few years. It will be easy to stay
on 20 and 15 but please try to get to 40m every county change as those of
us in Illinois won't be able to hear you most of the time anywhere else.
40m may go long early so I hope we can hear you on 80m later in the
contest. Good luck and be safe! Thanks again for going mobile and making
the contest such a huge success!

Thanks to all of you that go portable. We are fortunate to have such good
groups that find these sites and set up field day style.  I hope you have
good weather and conditions in the field. Right now the weather forecast
looks quite favorable.

IQP is one of the SMC chosen activity contests for its membership to earn
the Lifetime Achievement award. I hope to hear and work many of you in the
contest. SMC is also a sponsor of some of the awards.

73 and see you on Sunday!
