[MiQP-Mail] MiQP 2015 Planned Operations Page now QRV

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

MiQPers and sponsors...

I built an application (using an Excel 2003 workbook) that generates 
information regarding the announced schedules of Fixed, Rover, and 
Mobile stations who participate in our *MnQP* each year. Some of you may 
already know about this tool. It is used to augment the Google Maps 
application that Pat, KØPC developed for our event. (He has also 
mentioned the change in the Google format and will be investigating if 
his current method can be updated for 2016.)

On a lark, I created a workbook version for your upcoming *MiQP* and 
began populating it with the information that is being posted on this 
reflector. Currently there are 10 unique call signs, 8 of which appear 
to be Fixed stations. I can tell you 14 of your 83 counties will have 1 
visitor and 2 counties will have two stations.

If someone on the MiQP team is interested in populating this workbook 
with fixed, rover, and mobile itineraries as the event date approaches, 
please drop me a message. I found many QSO Party enthusiasts use this 
tool in their pursuit of sweeping the event or filling in missing 
counties for County Hunter awards. It can help promote activity.

Our web technologist K9TM reports that the map display is not working (Google, who supplies the map has changed how it works so our web site code doesn't work).  K9TM says he'll look into why the map isn't working but it may be next weekend or later before it gets fixed.  However, the table of counties and planned operations should be working so you can use the site now to stake your claim on the counties you want to activate.
