The Michigan QSO Party takes place each year on the third Saturday of April. It runs from noon to midnight Eastern Daylight Time, which is 1600z Saturday to 0400z Sunday. All are welcome and invited to participate. Michigan stations can work anyone, while stations outside Michigan work only Michigan stations for contest credit. The exchange is a serial number and county or state/province/DX. Scoring is one point for SSB QSOs and two points for CW, and multipliers are Michigan counties (plus 49 states and 13 provinces/territoriesĀ for Michigan stations).
The Michigan QSO Party website has a lot of information about the contest along with results from previous contests. Unfortunately, due to illness and the untimely passing of the long-time MIQP director, Dave K8CC, the website has been running behind in updates. In particular, the map of county records is only current to 2017. I’ve updated the information with new records earned in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the updated records can be found in the table below. (You may need to scroll the page left and right to view the desired data. You can sort the table by clicking on the column header cell of the column you wish to sort on, and you can search the table using the Search box.)
