?I am in Coles county so have that covered.
10-80m SSB&CW

IF any surrounding counties aren?t covered near the date I could expand 1-2 away if needed.

Also,  I do have a location that is tri-corner for moultrie,Shelby, and Coles co but would need advanced planning for that.

Hi Everyone,

We?ve never used digital for ILQP but are thinking of trying to experiment a little this year.  I am a CW guy so this is gonna be a slog.  I know FT4 and FT8 are not permitted and want to know what other modes are likely to be used.  I probably only have time to figure out one digital mode so what is most popular?  (RTTY, JS8CALL, etc)

Any digital mode where you can actually exchange the required log data:
callsign, time, signal report (will default to 59/599) and
state/province/county.  PSK31 or RTTY should be fine.    N9JF

Danny, just FYI.  My callsign is correct on Vermillion County on the map
(KJ9B), but on the listing under "Portable" next to the map, it got
scrambled (KB9J).

Thanks for the work.  Looking forward to ILQP!

Ken, KJ9B

I made a couple of mistakes on the recently posted activity map, so they have been corrected on the current map.

I appreciate the feedback and want to correct any mistakes or omissions, so please feel free to point them out to me.

*NEW FOR 2025:  BONUS STATIONS!!*

*The sponsoring club of ILQP is the Western Illinois ARC, which is
authorized to use two callsigns:  W9AWE (the historical call) and W9OAB
(the call of a long-time member and benefactor).  Both of these calls will
be used during the 2025 event, and any entrant contacting these stations
will have a 100 point bonus added to the final score. Total of 200 points
possible.  W9AWE will be primarily CW,  W9OAB will be primarily phone.*

I think I have all the additions and corrections but please check and make sure what you have indicated is correct on the activity map. I was a little confused with a couple of similar call signs planning to be in the same county, but I finally found the emails I needed to confirm I was not going bonkers (at least any worse than usual).

Please keep the plans coming.

Hello all

I love the IQP and am sorry to report that I will be away that weekend in
Dallas for a meeting. Someone else should step up and represent Peoria
County. I did make a presentation at the Midwest Superfest and included
encouragement for activity in the IQP.
