Sunday, Apr. 27, 2008: MSUARC Cookout
MSUARC Members, Alumni and Friends, The eighth annual MSUARC cookout will be held at my house on Sunday, April 27th. I am extending this invitation to all club members, affiliated faculty, staff, alumni and friends of MSUARC. The cookout will be from 6:00-8:30 P.M., rain or shine. Just the break you need before finals week! The menu will include steak dinners for those who received or upgraded their license this year (let me know who you are). For the rest of us there will be plenty of the usual hot dogs and hamburgers. Please RSVP by 4/24 (Friday) so I can buy enough food to feed everyone. You are also welcome to bring a spouse or significant-other, just let me know. If you qualify for one of the steaks, please let me know that also. Looking forward to seeing all of you. Michael Shanblatt K8MAS
Saturday, Apr. 19, 2008: Michigan QSO Party
12 noon to midnight local time. We usually do Multi-Op, Single Transmitter. There is no restriction on operating power in this class.
Here are the results for the contest. 421 contacts total 222 on 80meters 195 on 40meters 2 dupes (might as well make sure you got the person) 89 multipliers TOTAL CLAIM SCORE: 37469
Thanks to David KD8BXT, Andrew (KE7ESD), Gregg (WB8LZG) for showing up and having fun at the MI QSO party. I will make sure no funny business goes on this year and make sure our log gets to the right person so we get credit for the contacts. Thanks to all for a great QSO party and look forward for MSU to be in the QSO party next year. I also think there is a college of champions or something to that effect I am not sure how to submit the log for that but will look into it. To sum it up we killed last year score of 15264 with 72 multipliers.
