[SECC] Illinois QSO Party frequencies

[John Laney]

Hello all:

I complained to N9JF about the lack of suggested frequencies in the 
rules for Sunday's Illinois QSO Party and got the response below.  Since 
we are creatures of habit, these might be good frequencies to check even 
though they are not in this year's version of the rules.

  Hi John,

I'm not sure when the suggested frequencies disappeared from the rules and
the website.  As I remember, they were 50 up from the bottom for CW, and
3890, 7290, 14290, 21390 and 28390, plus 146.49 simplex.

As for the summary sheet, that was not my idea.  I'll pass your comment on
to the committee.  (no offense taken

Tnx and 73, Jim N9JF

Hi Jim:

I think it is a mistake (especially for SSB) not to list suggested
frequencies in the rules for this year's IQP.  I don't have much of an idea
where to look on 10, 15, 20 M at the suggested times.  Those are pretty big
bands and 10 and 15 are likely to be open from here to Illinois for weak
scatter contacts, if at all.

Also, may I suggest that it is a mistake to REQUIRE your own peculiar
summary sheet and not to make that a part of the rules.  It is only on the
home page, not in the rule sheet itself.  May be pretty hard to enforce such
a non-rule.

I'm not picking on you.  Yours was the only e-mail address I could find in
the rules.  Hope to work you this weekend.

73,


John, K4BAI.
