<DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to invite all of you to join us for the Ohio QSO Party, on
Saturday,</DIV>
<DIV>August 22. Like the MiQP, it runs from noon to midnight EDT. 80
through 10 <BR>meters, phone and CW, with multipliers counting on both modes
(for a total <BR>of 88x2 = 176 possible from outside Ohio).<BR><BR>Full
info is available at http://www.ohqp.org.
THIS IS A CHANGE FROM</DIV>
<DIV>LAST YEAR.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We in the Mad River Radio Club, the sponsor of the OQP since
<BR>1999, for various reasons decided to move the administration of the
OQP to <BR>this new site from the old one (www.oqp.us). The holder of
old site has <BR>tried to take over the running of the OQP from this old
site, which remains <BR>online. So please be sure to change any old bookmarks
you may have had.</DIV>
<DIV>We regret any confusion arising from this, please bear with us!
<BR><BR>We would also welcome any visitors from Michigan to travel south for the
day</DIV>
<DIV>to operate from Ohio. There are lots of generally rare counties in
northwest Ohio,</DIV>
<DIV>not at all far from Michigan. We also have a "Rover" category, that
allows operation</DIV>
<DIV>from fixed setups in multiple counties, and of course a mobile
category.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And of course we hope to see lots of Michigan qsos in our logs (especially
if</DIV>
<DIV>the propagation gods would be so nice as to allow some short skip on 40
meters!)</DIV>
<DIV><BR>See you on Saturday, August 22 !<BR><BR><BR>73 -
