<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>The Indiana QSO party is next Saturday, and we
have a last minute <BR>cancellation from Perry County IN (Perry is along the
Ohio river and west <BR>of Louisville KY). In other years we would cover
it with a mobile for an <BR>hour or so, but Perry was one of the original 15
counties when Indiana <BR>became a state in 1816, and since 2016 is our
Bicentennial, we are offering <BR>awards to stations who work the 15 original
counties. We have arranged <BR>full-time coverage in the other 14 counties, even
though some have very <BR>sparse ham populations. So it's really important for
us to have a bigger <BR>presence in Perry Co.<BR><BR>There also are certificates
for stations who activate one or more of the <BR>original 15...<BR><BR>Anyway,
anybody out there want to travel to Indiana for a day (11-11 EDT or
<BR>1500-0300 Z) and operate from a park or perhaps a borrowed farm? We are
<BR>trying to find the most suitable place for a portable operation.<BR><BR>I
can venture a guess that you will be busy for as long as you can be
