> 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 minimal 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!
>
> Date /Time:  Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club,
> from 1600Z April 19th until 0400Z April 20th.  Stations may operate the

> Multipliers:   Work stations once per band and mode.  Work other states
> and Michigan Stations.
