Hello:
I'm sending the following to all the Michigan radio clubs with the hope that
you will help us get the word out about the 2003 Michigan QSO Party that
will be held on April 19th from 12 noon to midnight local time. The level of
participation in this event has grown over the last couple of years and we
need your help to keep it going and growing.
I ask that you help us by doing the following:
1. Please announce the event at your March and April club meetings and try
to drum up some activity within your club. I bet your club has an individual
who would not only be likely to participate in this event, but would also be
good at drumming up activity within your club. (every club has one)
2. Please publish the attached "MIQP press release" in your club newsletter.
(see Attachment MIQP Press Release.text)
3. Post an announcement of the Michigan QSO Party on your club web page.
Please include the link to the MIQP web site. The link is
http://www.miqp.org
We thank you in advance for your help. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Hope to hear you and members of your club on the air during the QSO party on
April 19th.

2003 MICHIGAN QSO PARTY
Attention Michigan Amateurs. Spring is here and it's time for the Michigan
QSO Party. This is a great opportunity to get on the HF bands, have some
fun, and represent the great State of Michigan. The organizers of this event
would like to see as many Michigan stations on the air as possible. It is
the activity of the Michigan stations that will make this event a success.
This event, like other state QSO parties has seen an increase in activity in
recent years. With your participation it has the potential to be one of the
best QSO parties in the country.
As you can see from the rules listed below, this is only a 12 hour
event.. Consider getting on the air for the whole thing, or any portion of
the 12 hour period. You can operate from home, portable, or mobile. We
again with the support of mobile stations plan on having some activity in
all 83 counties.
How about making this a club event? You can submit your individual or
multi-op scores under the name of the club and maybe bring home the club
plaque. Hey, why not challenge another local area club or other groups
within your club? Are there others in your club that would consider a mini
expedition for a portable operation in one of the Michigan counties with
mininmal activity?? The name of the game is to have fun and make Michigan
"Radio Active" on April 19th. Hope to hear you on the air!
