[MiQP-Mail] How about a year long recruiting/proselytizing effort?

[Hank Greeb]

Perhaps we in Michigan could collaborate, get a combined recruiting 
effort going, and get all the counties in Michigan covered with fixed 
stations?  Or, as a minimum, multiple mobiles?

The New England folks seem to be getting their act together, as have a 
listing of coverage of all counties in the various states of New 
England.  See
http://neqp.org/ryc.html
for a list of how they've covered their states.  Most have a fixed 
station or two listed, with a very few having only one mobile listed for 
a county.

The organizers of MIQP do a great job of publicity and recruiting, but 
I'm sure they'd appreciate local help.  So, if you're in a "rare" county 
and/or know of folks in an adjacent, even "rarer" county, why not start 
talking up the 2016 MiQP at your club meetings.  Mention the MiQP to 
your fellow hams if you have a periodic "ham breakfast or luncheon".   
Enthusiasm is contagious..

"Flash publicity" a few weeks or months prior to the event are very 
useful, but keeping the event in the minds of folks year round might 
encourage more folks to participate for a few hours or for the entire 12 
hours.

Lettuce work toward having all 83 counties of Michigan covered with 
fixed stations!  Unrealistic?  Perhaps... but a good goal! Then we could 
have bragging rights for the "first to work all 83" or "highest number 
of Worked All Counties" certificates, etc!  Can we count on YOU?
