[MiQP-Mail] Ontario QSO Party, April 17 & 18

[Hank Greeb]

Looks like we have company - maybe we can cross paths with some of our 
neighbors in Canada

They're announcing the 13th Annual Ontario QSO Party 2010

Held on the third full weekend of April 1800Z April 17 to 0500Z April 
18, and 1200Z to 1800Z April 18

The first 12 hours of their contest coincides with the Michigan QSO party.

Their preferred frequencies: 

HF SSB: 1.870, 3.735, 7.070, 7.260, 14.130, 14.265, 21.260, 28.360
HF CW: 1.830, 3.530, 7.030, 14.030, 21.030, 28.030

And, for Michigan Stations near the border, or if Sporadic E (for 6 
metres) or tropo (for two metres)
VHF/UHF SSB: 50.130, 144.205
VHF/UHF FM: 52.540, 146.550

They'd require RS(T) and State, so this would be different from the MiQP 
exchange, but I'd bet you could wheedle a number and "ON" from an VE3.

I'm forwarding a copy of this to their reflector, (oqp at yahoogroups.com) 
so perhaps some of their operators will look for us Michiganders on the 
MiQP.  Details, for them, are found at http://www.miqp.org/Rules.htm
