[David Pruett]

Attention all contesters:

Just in case anyone on this reflector wasn't paying attention, the 
Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club, runs this 
weekend from 1600Z April 21 until 0400Z April 22, i.e. noon until 
midnight local time (EDST).  Stations may operate the full 12 hours. 
Phone and CW on 80/40/20/15/10 meters.  Single-op, multi-op, and mobile 
categories.   Work stations once per band and mode.  MI-to-MI QSOs 
allowed.  Work portables and mobiles again as they change county, state 
or province.  Exchange QSO number and location (county for MI stations, 
state/province or "DX" for others).  Suggested frequencies: CW - 3545, 
7045, 14045, 21045, 28045; Phone - 3850, 7225, 14250, 21300, 28450.  One 
point per phone QSO, two points per CW QSO.  Count multipliers once per 
mode.  Multipliers are MI counties for all entries, plus states & 
provinces for MI entries only.  Final score is total QSO points times 
total multipliers.  Mail logs no later than 30 days after the contest 
to: Mad River Radio Club, c/o Dave Pruett, 2727 Harris Road, Ypsilanti, 
MI 48198 or via e-mail to logs at miqp.org.  For full rules, along with 
free logging software, log and summary sheets, see http://www.miqp.org.

At last count, 79 of the 83 Michigan counties had operations planned. 
See http://www.miqp.org/operatingPlanned.php.  The five missing counties 
are ALLE, KEWE, LEEL and OTTA.

We hope to see everyone on the air this weekend.
