[CQ-Contest] 2004 Michigan QSO Party This Weekend

[David A. Pruett]

The 2004 Michigan QSO Party (MiQP) is this weekend, April 17, from noon 
until midnight EDST.  (This is 16Z on 17 April until 04Z on 18 April in 
Zulu-speak).  Here are the fundamental details:

- Operate phone and CW on 80/40/20/15/10 meters
- Stations can be worked once per band and mode
- Exchange QSO number and location (county, state/province or "DX")
- Multipliers are MI counties for all entries, plus states &
provinces for MI entries only.  Count multipliers once per mode.
- Phone QSO = 1 pt, CW QSO = 2 pts. Final score = QSO pts x mults

Suggested frequencies: CW-3545, 7045, 14045, 21045, 28045;
Phone-3850, 7225, 14250, 21300, 28450.

Awards: Plaques for top MI-SOHP, MI-SOLP, MI-SOQRP, MI-Multiop, MI-Mobile, 
Non-MI/Eastern US, Non-MI Western US, Non-MI Most Counties Works, and 
Michigan Club Score.

Again this year, plans are in place to have all 83 counties QRV during the 
contest.  The usual complement of Michigan rover mobiles will be 
criss-crossing the state to hand out county mults, and a number of uncommon 
counties are planning to have full-time efforts.

Full rules, information, and free logging software is available on the MiQP 
web site at http://www.miqp.org.

CU this weekend!
