Hi John,
 
Thanks for the QSOs in MiQP... we did miss the full time efforts that  
GU/AIH, MHJ, etc., did in 2004 but we did notice that there were *lots* of other  
MN/MWA guys calling in!  Thanks to all.
 
On 40 meters we could not hear anything of other in state guys, or close by  
out of state guys. So when we looked for a clear frequency, about the only way 
 to tell if a frequency was QRL was by out of state guys working somebody.   
If there were none, we couldn't really tell if it was a clear freq, or if we 
had  plopped down right on somebody else's frequency, qrming him, and making it 
 impossible for either of us to make qsos.  I don't think QRO guys were the  
problem, it was just that we mobiles couldn't tell what was and wasn't  clear.
 
You ought to come over to MI some year.  Heck, 110 miles is  nothing.  We 
drove about 450 miles to our starting point in Otsego county,  staying overnight 
near Saginaw on the way up. We finished up in Livingston  county, still about 
200 miles from home. 
 
See you all in the Ohio QSO Party, Saturday August 27!
