(80CW-40-20-15) and a separate<BR>HamStick for that one 75 meter SSB
QSO. 2001 Honda Odyssey.<BR><BR><BR>Wow, what a weekend!<BR><BR>Great
conditions and great activity. In the 12 hour format Michigan and Ohio<BR>QSO
parties I've only broken the 1K QSO mark one time, back in about 2003
in<BR>MI. This year I beat that record by 400 QSOs. Many thanks to all FB CW
ops who<BR>followed me around the state, and who in many cases were ready to
quickly QSY<BR>to SSB. 40 meters stayed short until the end, allowing me to
get a reasonable<BR>in state multiplier without having to resort to 80 meters,
which is deadly for<BR>a mobile.<BR><BR>Pileups were intense, and it was fun
going into full DXpedition mode, cranking<BR>up the speed and watching the
rate soar. I recently picked a digital voice<BR>recorder, and used it to
record the entire contest. When I get some time I will<BR>get the files off
and make them available to anyone who wants to hear what it<BR>sounds like
from the mobile end.<BR><BR>An exchange with a QSO number requires more effort
than just "599",<BR>but it was fun following some of the good races out there
- N4PN vs W0BH,<BR>DL2HBX vs OM2VL, etc. I also enjoyed many QSOs with three
of my previous MiQP<BR>partners, AC8E, AF8A, and K8BL. Those guys understood
exactly what was<BR>happening.<BR><BR>This year I recruited a new driver,
John, K8YSE. He took to task to new levels<BR>of sophistication, taking my
sketched out route and uploading it into his GPS.<BR>None of the "where the
heck are we?" moments. Only one deer crossing<BR>but not especially close,
unlike 2010 when we nailed one in Mecosta county for<BR>$3K of (insured)
damage.<BR><BR>MiQP is usually my 'last snow of the year" experience, and I
did see<BR>some on the ground in the northern counties. But the worst
weather came with<BR>some serious snow squalls Saturday morning between my
home on the east side of<BR>Cleveland and K8YSE's on the west side. But by the
time I got to his QTH it was<BR>all clear, and remained so for the rest
of the weekend.<BR><BR>Thanks again to all who participated. I hope to see you
all back for the<BR>Ohio QSO Party on Saturday, August 24.<BR><BR>73
