<DIV>It's not in the rules, but it is a good operating practice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, if you have a non-8 land call (from MI) , it is a good idea to
include "/8" or "/MI", at least occasionally, i.e. "CQ MQP DE W3USA
/8 " or "CQ MQP DE W3USA /MI"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are CQing from out of state in a QSO party in the same call area
(i.e. from Ohio in the Michigan QSO Party) it is a good idea to add "/OH".
As in: CQ MI DE W8LT /OH</DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question about operating cw during the
miqp. The rules for the GA QSO party suggest that Georgia stations should call
“CQ GQP”. Non Georgia stations should call “CQ GA." This helped me a
lot. I have had problems with other qso parties where I tried to call CQ but
stations not from that state would call me back. </FONT></P>
