[MiQP-Mail] Change of plans for MIQP 2016

[Hank Greeb]

I blundered for not reading details of 2015 Michigan QSO Party results. 
  I only relied on the "records" are of the MiQP web page. It didn't 
dawn on me that Emergency Operations Center records are NOT included on 
the records list.

Based on incomplete info, I was planning an adventure to KEWEenaw 
County.  However, with that county well covered so my plans have changed.

I've found and reserved a very remote, rustic cabin owned by the 
Hiawatha National Forest, at least 1/4 mile from the nearest electrical 
transmission line, in SCHOolcraft county.   The personnel at the 
National Forest Service assure me that the county maintains the forest 
roads and county highways necessary to get to the place. I might have to 
toboggan into the last 1/4 mile of driveway, but that's doable even with 
my aging bones.

Haven't decided on the call that I'll be using, but most probably NOT 
n8xx.  I'm weighing the possibilities for K8S or W8S for SCHOolcraft 
County.  Or maybe N8T (for Tom's Cabin, the name of the cabin I'm 
renting) or N8H (for Hiawatha National Forest.) But maybe the most 
suitable would be N8I (for the N)utty almost 8)0 year olde, I)diot who 
thought of going on such an adventure!).  Yup, one doesn't have to be 
completely insane to be a ham, but most hams are inclined in that 
direction. :)

Remember, Michigan QSO Party 2016 will be held on April 16, beginning at 
1600Z, and will end on April 17, at 0400Z.  Hope to work many former 
MiQP operators.  Talk MIQP up with your local club and your ham friends!
