[MiQP-Mail] N9NE/9/8

[Todd Fonstad]

Hello neighbors!

A cold front roared through Oshkosh last night (which I am passing on to
you) with a prediction of snow/rain for this Sunday's Wisconsin QSO Party.
Weather permitting, I'll be mobile in 20 counties in the fast, furious and
fun seven hours of this event (2 to 9 pm EDT). Please join us ... it will be
a good 'tune up' for both you and me in the MIQP. I'll be on 80, 40, and 20M
CW from the get-go. See the rules at <http://www.warac.org/wqp/wqp.htm>.

I'm not sure what my plans for the MIQP will be. I ran 6 counties
(unassisted) in the western UP last year with good success, and I may end up
doing the same. It becomes more difficult with the passing of each year
(I'll be 66 next month) to get the rig/antennas/vehicle readied for what is
essentially a 22 hour non-stop drive from this QTH, 50 miles southwest of
Green Bay.

Interesting ain't it: the MN, WI, and MI QSO Parties are held during winter
... but it works! If you don't think April isn't winter in the UP, you
haven't been there then!
