K8K/m will not have APRS.
For those who wish to use spotting (which will put you in the multi op
category), keep in mind the county hunters spotting network, at: www.w6rk.com
(click on County Spotting). It gets lots of activity, and includes a
route mapping feature. The map, however, does not show county names or lines,
so it can be a little hard to read.
One interesting thing with the maps is how a busted location can show up as
a very out of the way detour. (look at K4BAI's route in the GaQP).
IMHO (which may not necessarily be the official MiQP position) is that
spotting, especially of the mobiles, in a moderate and non-favorite way on the DX
cluster is a good thing, in that it alerts a lot of people in real time that
MiQP is going on. If that gets some people to turn on their transmitters and
work some people in Michigan, that is good.
