[MiQP-Mail] [MSUARC] Michigan QSO Party (fwd)

[Mike Bernock]

M go take a hike! Go Youse Huskies!

 

Tech was a power house in hockey back in the 70s under Coach John MacInnes
who was a good friend of Gordy Howe. They even took the GLI all 4 years I
attended. I believe W8YY was up in the elevator shack on the roof of
Wadsworth Hall at the time.

As usual, everyone thinks there are only two universities in Michigan and
forgets that Michigan Technological University exists.  Probably because we
don't have a football team that anyone cares about.  W8YY was 9YX when it
was first set up on campus in a coal bin in the EE building around the start
of WWI.  Known for deep snow, professional beer drinking, and the hardiness
of the UP population; MTU cranks out engineers like Paris Island cranks out
US Marines.

 

Enrollment                            41,402    46,045    6,744    

Engineering degrees                1,966        704       980

 

Go youse Huskies!

Anyone who knows ANYTHING of this Grate State of Michigan knows that MSU
Amateur Radio club call is W8SH.  <mailto:root at msuarc.egr.msu.edu>
root at msuarc.egr.msu.edu :)

And, University of Michigan Radio Club is W8UM.
<mailto:w8um.info at umich.edu> w8um.info at umich.edu 

BTW, W8YX is University of Cincinnati ARC - predates the use of "W" prefix
and for a while they had an experimental license in the early 20's.

Go Spartan!  Go Blue! Go Bearcats!
