Well, the Michigan QSO Party is happening on Saturday, April 16, from 1600Z to 0400Z. Â* As I did last year, I plan to operate with the University of Michigan Amateur Radio Club. They have an ongoing rivalry with the Michigan State University Amateur Radio Club. Theres even a trophy thats held by the winner of the competition, in the spirit of the Paul Bunyan Trophy, which goes to the winner of the U-M/MSU football game. Its called the Ole Log, and as you can see from the picture above, it kind of looks like the state of Michigan.Â*Last year, we trounced the MSU team, and we plan to do it again this year. At any rate, I hope that youll consider participating, and if you do, that youll listen for us. Our callsignÂ*is W8UM. Heres the announcement from our Division Director, WA8EFK: Just Have Some Fun!!!!! Chance to get on the air Single Op, Multi Op, Mobile, EOC Be the station others want to work Maybe activate a rare county? Excellent Club Activity Reason to get together as group Join the fun in the “EOC†station category Excellent Training opportunity! Get new members on the air! Friendly Competition Let’s all help make Michigan “radio-active†on the 16th ofÂ*April!!!! Get your local EOC on the air and show the emergency management teamÂ*how amateur radio can benefit their efforts!!! The 2016 Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club, isÂ*from 1600Z April 16 until 0400Z April 17. Â* Stations may operate the full 12 hours. Phone and CW on 80/40/20/15/10Â*meters.

To the moderators of rec.radio.amateur.moderated; Please stop posting these blog echos here. I'd like to see this group be a useful place to discuss homebrew equipment, but your posts drown out any useful content that might happen. Can't you stick to your own moderated group? You have managed to kill it off with virtually no postings other than the blog echos you seem obsessed with. -- Rick |
