<title>50th of Mackinac Bridge</title>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Well, since the Michigan Section ARRL
News Summary came out and said that MiQP will be trying to offer a
certificate for Big Mac's 50th, I will be applying for N8I to use from
Isabella county during MiQP. I can help host and maintain a separate
page with the info regarding the Big Mac Cert special events stations.
Should others apply for the special event calls to use during MiQP, I
suggest that you state the 'event' as Mackinac Bridge 50th Anniversary.
Technically, according to the 1x1 guidelines, just saying 'MiQP' gets a
little dicey, especially if you plan using a 1x1 again next year. From
the ARRL 1x1 Callsign Webpage (</font><a

<p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">The FCC says that special event 1x1
call signs are authorized for use "in conjunction with an event of
special significance." This suggests an event with high public
visibility, as opposed to a routine ham radio contest or other
operating event. However, a special event call sign could be used in
conjunction with a contest if one were to occur within the call sign
reservation period. </font></p>
