---------------------------------

All,

thank you for the QSOs in this year's Michigan QSO Party. It was fun to meet so many friends from my time in MI. I was fortunate to be able to use Jörg's fine station. Conditions appeared decent from the DX side and there was no hour where I could not make at least a handful of QSOs.

15m was wide open during the day and allowed for several QSOs with the MI folks who had realized it. 20 was open way past midnight local time. 40 was not bad either but as the antenna is tuned to CW, I could only make three QSOs on phone in the lower portion of the band with reduced power. 80m was disappointing, I only heard three stations out of which I was able to work two.

My goal was to see how I could hold up to Laci, OM2VL operating from the impressive OM8A setup (http://www.om8a.org/index.php?strana=ukaz&typ=anteny&jazyk=en). For the first 4.5 hours my QSO numbers were head to head but when the low bands opened up, Laci pulled away and he finished 30 QSOs, 15 multipliers and some 9k points ahead.

Most worked mobile/rover stations:
K8MR 21 QSOs
K8IR  8 QSOs
N9JF  7 QSOs
AE8M  5 QSOs
W8ZZ  3 QSOs

Most worked fixed station was K8XXX with 6 QSOs on 4 bands, then several 3 band QSOs.

Setup:
  TenTec Orion II + Alpha
  Optibeam OB17-4 (40-10m) @ 60ft
  Wire vertical (80m) in the trees.

73! Uli, DL2HBX
