It can be found at: http://www.w9awe.org/feedline.pdf The October WIARC will meet Wednesday October 7, 7:30 PM, at the Red Cross in Quincy. Besides the usual business, I am sure we will be hearing plenty about the upcoming Illinois QSO Party. Illinois QSO Party is Sunday October 18 from 12:00 noon until 8:00 PM CDST (1700 UTC until 0100 UTC Oct 19). We need everyone club member to get involved with this event. Get on from home or, better yet, go out and set up on a county line or corner and operate Field Day style. If you are really dedicated and have the ability, do a nice drive in the country and activate several counties from the mobile. So far I have not heard of any definite plans from WIARC members. If you do not have a station to operate from or do not live in Illinois and want to help the club score, you can come and operate as a part of a multi-op effort at the club station. Whatever you decide, get on the air! On Saturday October 10 we will be having a work day at the club station and can use several hands to help. We will be de-cluttering and cleaning the club station, putting connectors on coax and cleaning up the storage area in the garage. We will start at 9:00 AM and will be there until we run out of work or workers, whatever comes first. Danny NG9R
