[MiQP-Mail] Hooray! Only two counties left

[David Pruett]

All:

Just in case someone hasn't checked the planned operations page 
recently, 81 of the 83 counties have planned operations this weekend.   
Only two counties are missing at least one planned operation, and many 
counties have several.

It seems to me that the new Cabinet Counties award has been a boon for 
ensuring that a number of these semi-rare counties will be on the air.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw the announcement of the planned 
operation from KEWE by W8K.  We're all grateful to this person or group 
for taking the initiative to activate this very remote and rare county, 
and we wish them success.

In fact, we wish success for everyone undertaking MiQP operations this 
weekend.

We have a very real chance to get all 83 counties covered with planned 
operations for the first time in several years. Usually, KX8D is on from 
PRES; maybe he just hasn't had a chance to post a planned operation this 
year?  N8LC has been known to operate from HURO, but they've announced 
plans to go back to LAPE again.

Not intending to tell anyone what to do, but perhaps it would be 
possible for K8IR/m to tweak their route a smidge to hit PRES, and 
W8UE/m to adjust his route to hit HURO?

You never know; it's a little late to start preparations now, but 
perhaps I'll try to jump into my Jeep and head north for a few QSOs from 
HURO before settling in to an operating chair at the K8MQP multi-single 
operation from LIVI :-)

Good luck to everyone this weekend.

73, Dave/K8CC
