16Z on April 21 to 04Z on April 22

(Noon until Midnight Eastern Time on Saturday, April 21, 2012)

The 2012 Michigan QSO Party will occur on Saturday, April 21, 2012 from noon until midnight local time (Eastern Time here in Michigan).  This is 16Z on April 21, 2012 until 04Z on April 22, 2012 on the UTC calendar.  There are no rules changes from 2011, so published rules and logging software will still be valid.

However, there are (or will be) some improvements here on the web site to support the 2012 event.  Thanks to the programming skills of Tim Mitchell, K9TM, the 2012 Planned Operations Details page (see link next to the map at the top of this page) now has an automatically updating map showing the counties with planned operations.

Another improvement which is in the works for implementation prior to the 2012 MiQP involves how electronic logs will be submitted.  In the past, entrants would attach their electronic logs to an e-mail and send it to logs @ miqp.org.  While this method will still be in place, entrants will be encouraged instead to use the upcoming Log Submittal Web Page planned for the MiQP web site where entrants will be asked a few questions about their entry, then they will be able to upload their Cabrillo file right to the web page.  This will allow us to automate the process for receiving logs, which in turn allows us to provide automatic feedback on submitted logs to flag many errors right away and also support an automatically generated list of submitted logs. The process will be the same as used for the Ohio QSO Party for the first time in 2011, and will help us turn around the QSO party results quicker with less manual effort.

Our thanks to all who participated in MiQP 2011.  We hope to see everyone in 2012!
