[CQ-Contest] 2005 MiQP Results Are Out

[David Pruett]

For those who participated in the 2005 Michigan QSO Party this past may, 
the final results of the event are out on the MiQP Web Site 
http://www.miqp.org. We're proud to have been able to turn these around in 
only 3½ months, thanks to fewer problems with incomplete entries and the 
steadily growing numbers of electronic logs.

New for 2005 in the on-line results is that a printable version of the
results (in .pdf format) is available.  We're also making available for
download the Excel spreadsheet that was used to categorize and rank the
scores.  (Think of it as a poor man's searchable database :-))

Congratulations to the winners:

MI Single-Op High Power: KK8I
MI Single-Op Low Power: N8TC
MI Single-Op QRP Power: N8NM
Non-MI Single-Op Eastern: K5OT
Non-MI Single-Op Western: K0RI
MI Mobile Solo-Operator: W1NN/m
MI Mobile Multi-operator: K8MR/m
MI Multi-Op Single-Xmtr: W8PIF
MI Multi-Op Single-Xmtr: K8XXX
High Score MI Club: M&M ARC

If you read the write-up you'll see that the 2005 MiQP set many records for 
the event.  This is thanks to all the operators who got on and made MiQP
QSOs, who talked their friends into getting on, and spread the word about
MiQP.  MiQP 2006 is only 8½ months away; take time to soak in this year's
results, but then let's plan to continue the growth in 2006

Don't forget to look for many familiar MiQP callsigns during the Ohio QSO
Party, August 27, 2005, http://www.oqp.us, also sponsored by the Mad River
Radio Club.  Come join in the fun!
