[InHam] INQP 2014 is 2 weeks away

[Mel Crichton]

In just 14 days the state of Indiana will populate the HF bands for the 12 
hours of the  Indiana QSO Party. OK, we won't actually own the bands, as a 
couple other QSO Parties will be taking place then as well. But there will 
be a lot of activity on SSB and CW from Indiana. And don't forget to work 
stations in other QSO parties to collect more states and contacts.

We have commitments from stations in 91 of our 92 counties. See the activity 
map at http://www.hdxcc.org/inqp/activity.php.  If you know of a ham in 
Porter county who can get on for a while that day, please rattle their 
cage..... Many times stations will show up unannounced, but it's nice to 
know that all 92 will be on for INQP.

Maybe a mobile can come over from the Chicago area to help out (thanks to 
N9JF and AE8M for volunteering to cross the state line).

We have fewer mobiles this year, but more home, club, and rover stations, 
meaning bigger signals from many counties.  (look in the CW bands for 
mobiles, who often can't be heard calling CQ on SSB. And if you call CQ on 
SSB, ask for "mobiles/QRP only" once in a while)

Looking forward to another fun (and busy) INQP
