[MiQP-Mail] logging program

[Hank Greeb]

Scott:

I put a preliminary report in this reflector.  In a nutshell - NEWAygo 
was fun! fun! fun!

I was in a Croton Township Park above the Croton Dam (on the Muskegon 
River).  It's about 100 feet higher than the river, and away from the 
big HV power lines which radiate (both physically, and I assume RF 
wise)  from the hydroelectric power plant below the dam.  It was fairly 
quiet RF-wise, with some wind static with 30+ MPH winds.  Didn't get to 
the town of Newaygo - it's about 8 miles to the west of the dam.  I did 
go there in my initial scouting of the area, but wanted to be in a more 
rural area to get away from power line noise.

Next year I'll probably try another of the 'rare' counties to the north 
of Kent.  Operating, even QRP, from a "rare" county seemed to be a 
magnet for contacts. :)

for the "QDF file" you might look at it with a text editor to see what's 
wrong - I've not screwed around with NA, but most of the native files 
for these logging programmes are plain text, sometimes with some special 
delimiters.
