I think I'm going to like Illinois

[N2RJ]

McLean County, Illinois... sounds vaguely familiar.

If that's true, good going. You chose wisely.

So, it's good that band conditions don't resemble the name of the state; Ill And Noisy. (;->) Well, at least you can get your WAS on 2M which is something I can't do here on the right coast.

Sure you can! You may just have to work AK & HI via EME.
