I like macaroni  :)

You might want to contact these people for info: http://gx4crc.com/imd-stations/
A quick look around their web site just says 160 to 10 meters.

It is obvious that from central Ill you would use 10/15/or 20 meters there is a lot of frequency's to choose from, you could look all day and never find a station. Steve can you remember what freq you worked the Brit station on, he will more than likely be near that freq this year.

I checked 3 of the listed participating stations and none of them listed a specific frequency.

Obviously, that makes sense since no one owns a frequency and they all can't be on the same frequency.
On the day of participation, check the various DX clusters to see if a particular frequency and station have been spotted. Like chasing DX the old fashion way, looked for lots of activity and/or pileups on a frequency.
