[MiQP-Mail] W8OAK to return for MiQP 2007

[Love, Randy]

Well, I hope this is a trend that catches on with other EOC's throughout
the state, but for right now, Oakland County will lead the way! Oakland
Co. ARPSC will once again activate the EOC ham station for MiQP 2007.
Hopefully, Mark, K8ED, will return again as the primary CW op, but with
or without him, W8OAK will be on the air! 

The county Emergency Management people like to see us operate the
station for extended periods to ensure that it's "up to snuff" and can
coexisting peacefully with the Sheriff's communications across the hall.
MiQP has recently been added as our 3rd such event each year. The other
two events are Field Day ( duh! ) and SKYWARN Recognition Day (first
full weekend in December). Ask around at your local EmComm group and try
to sell them on the idea that this is a good test of there system for
communicating within ( and out of ) the state of Michigan. In Oakland
County, we write MiQP off as our new yearly 'intra-state communications
test'.  :)  Maybe someday EOC's will have their own category -- just a
thought. 

Good luck.. And if all goes as planned, I'll be on from Isabella this
year ( not having to content with Easter helps.. :)

73,
