[MiQP-Mail] 1 X 1's for MiQP

[Hank Greeb]

Hank,

IF you con the operator into taking your MiQP info and giving you 
similar info back that would certainly qualify.  I don't know how the 
contest committee handles "unique calls" - but I haven't heard of anyone 
being disqualified for them.   I've been successful in nabbing someone 
calling CQ without the "CQ MiQP" or "CQ OQP" and getting him/her to qsl 
my info and give me the proper info.  Might not be exactly what the MiQP 
committee had in mind, but it's a legit QSO.

And, N9NE will qualify, (I presume) because he will enter as operating 
from Michigan.  I don't see anything in the rules/guidelines which say 
the call has to include a 8 land prefix, just that the person has to be 
considered as a Michigan participant and have the first letter of his 
suffix the same as one of the letters of MACKINAC.  Shucks, we'd be 
delighted if we had a 9 lander enter as N9N, or N9K, similar to the N4O, 
KØK, WØK, W7A AND WØL who entered in the OKQSO party and were considered 
equal to their W/K/N counterparts in the spelling contest.

 From the rumblings I've been getting about this event, MiQP should be a 
grande party this year!
