[CQ-Contest] Minnesota QSO Party tomorrow

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

With temperatures well below 0 F the last few days, everything has been 
firmed up in Minnesota for their upcoming QSO Party!

Tomorrow 14 mobile operators will be hitting the frozen MN roads in 
their pursuit to supply YOU with the 87 counties for a sweep. In 
addition to the familiar annual participants, we welcome *WØBH *and crew 
driving up from Kansas this year! Bob has an aggressive 24-county plan 
for the southwestern MN counties.

The complete details; mobile calls, routes, time tables, rules, and 
other tools are available on the Minnesota Wireless Association website: 
www.w0aa.org

Be sure to take a look at the interactive mobile routing tool on this 
page:  http://www.w0aa.org/index.php/routes-a-aprs-tracks  It will 
provide real-time progress information of the APRS equipped mobiles 
tomorrow.

For those who prefer 'hard copy' tables, I have posted two files for 
your downloading pleasure:

1) *MnQP 2013 Chronology.xls*- A condensed Excel workbook that allows 
you to sort and print the expected activity in a variety of different 
views. This is a much simplified version of previous QSO Party workbooks 
I have created in the past.

2) *MnQP 2013 Chronology Sweep 87.pdf*- If your goal is an 87-county 
sweep, this 2-page PDF file can help you achieve it! It shows your 
'critical path' of working the first mobile station that enters a needed 
county. In addition, it shows the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 'chances' for a 
contact in case you missed the first opportunity. You will also discover 
the 7 counties where only 1 station is expected, their ETA, and how long 
they will be active. You don't want to miss them for your sweep!

Download either file from my DropBox website:

I hope to log you tomorrow! Good luck this weekend.
