[ILQSO] Michigan QSO Party

[James Funk]

Those of us who obsessed (?) with the success of the Illinois QSO Party
need to be mindful of supporting other parties whenever we can.  I was
mobile all of Sunday afternoon in the MOQP this weekend and did not work
a single 9-lander!!!

Georgia is coming up this weekend, then Michigan, then Florida, then
Indiana/New England/7-land.

73, Jim N9JF
