[NCC] Fwd: MiQP K8MR Single Op LP

[Jim Stahl]

Sorry I’m not longer able to make MiQP from Michigan, but only a little sorry :-)

We had an evening engagement from about 5pm to 10pm. I hoped to get on and have some good late evening fun on 40 and 80, but that didn’t happen. It was noisy down here, and looking at the radar maps it was probably worse up there. K8MQP, KM8CC, and N8EA didn’t hear me lots of times on 80 CW, in spite of being pretty loud down here. NA8V won the good ears award. 

Good to catch all the MRRC friends, especially W8RU, who got me started in all this mobile contesting craziness with the MiQP back in about 1999.
