[MiQP-Mail] K6JSS/8/CNTY Operations during MIQP 2011

[Hank Greeb]

This will announce a "different twist" on operations during MIQP 2011.

As part of the QRP Amateur Radio Club International's (QRPARCI) Golden 
Jubilee, QRP operators will be activating each of the 50 states plus 
Puerto Rico during the calendar year 2011.  My arm was twisted, and I've 
been drafted to coordinate the Michigan effort.  I chose the week of 
April 11 through April 17 for the Michigan operation, which coincides 
with the Michigan QSO party.

We will be activating K6JSS/8/CNTY (where CNTY equals the name of as 
many Michigan counties as we can find volunteers) during the MIQP.   So 
far we have only two.

WA8REI will be operating as K6JSS/8/SAGInaw
N8XX will be operating as K6JSS/8/MECOsta
????? will be operating as K6JSS/8/WHATcounty

I've been contacted by one other operator who wishes to operate during 
the week.  If anyone else wishes to join the fray, please let me know.  
The only requirement is that you operate with <5 watts, let me know if 
you want to partake of operating as a contestant during the Michigan QSO 
Party (Only one station from each county is permitted during this 
period), and provide a copy of your log to the overall coordinator of 
the Golden Jubilee event.  During times outside of MIQP activity we'll 
need to coordinate bands and modes.   It would be very nice, but next to 
impossible, to find 83 QRP ops in the 83 counties of Michigan to operate 
as K6JSS/8/CNTY.   So, the more the merrier!
