[WIARC] Illinois QSO Party

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 01:11:22 GMT

In the interest of keeping our rightful place at the top of the heap of the 
IL QSO Party Club Scores, I have visited a couple 3 county corner spots 
within 1 hours drive from Quincy. One was Hancock, McDonough and Schuyler 
and the other is Hancock Adams Schuyler. I have tracked down land owners at 
both locations (one took some work as it is owned through a land trust 
company in Midland TX). I have permission for WIARC stations at both 
locations if anybody wants to operate them. I think Myles and I will do the 
Hancock Adams Schuyler location as it lends itself to our "on hand" antennas 
better.

The other is only about 10 or 12 miles further north (near Plymouth IL) but 
it will require a vertical antenna or some type of support mast for antennas 
as there are no trees at the site. It would be a good one for a camper 
operation if the ground is dry. Actually it would be best for camper 
operation either way, but a non camper operation could do it as well. It 
does not have power so you will have to BYOP. If anybody wants to mount a IL 
QSO expedition to Plymouth IL let me know and I will give you a map and the 
name of the land owner I talked to so you have it if the cops show up.
