As an out of state station, I'm looking forward to the MIQP this  
weekend.  I'll be on for most of the 12 hours,
looking  particularly for those mobiles in rare counties.  I'll be happy 
to  work any and all the MI guys.  I'm
anticipating that there will be  propagation on 40 and 80M for the full 
12 hours between MA and MI, and  even
some on 20M in the afternoon. 

Have fun, be safe, and work me  lots!  Good luck to all!


++++++++++++++++
 
We all will be eagerly awaiting your calls!
 
If I'm not running a pileup, I can easily QSY for a QSO on the other  mode or 
maybe other bands as well.  It only takes one button to do so,  usually less 
than 5 seconds.  So be ready to be quick!
 
If all works, I will be able to be on 80-40-20-15, both modes, during  the 
daytime.  I will be checking 80/75 if 40 is not working for close in  stuff, but 
my experience in past years that 80 is pretty bad until maybe 4 pm  local.  
But we'll see.
 
Sometime, probably around sunset, I will switch from the low power  Hustler 
75 meter resonator to the high power one, to get better bandwidth on  75.  The 
75 M high power resonator has a stray resonance at 20  meters, so once I do, 
20 will be either QRT or sharing Ham Stick time with 80  CW. If I am still 
motivated, I might put the 10 meter resonator on at that  time, so I could QRB 
("Run the Bands") including 10 but excluding 20, if I  find a station close 
enough.

Work us early and work us often!
