Missed Calhoun. I heard W8CAR in Branch but missed him when he changed to Calhoun. Great event and had a ball running it QRP. Thanks for this added event. Tim K8NWD
Nice event... (AB8IT)
Tnx es 73 (K8EO)
Very nice addition to a very popular contest. Also, I don't know who is responsible for the design of the MIQP plaques but they are the best looking state QSO party plaques I have seen. Gret Job! and Great Contest. And thanks to all the volunteers who work hard to make it happen. (K8BZ)
Had a good time participating on 40m.I recognized a few callsigns that came to the our (Virginia) QSOP in March and so it is always a good thing to participate in the MIQP. 73s and Good Luck. Randy, KA4AQM
I'm not really a contester, so I just make a few contacts to help out those who are. The Cabinet Counties Award added to the fun! I wish I had been able to spend more time searching out the counties that I missed, but for my limited participation I think these made my time spent all the more worthwhile. Thanks a lot for the contest and best wishes to all those who participated. (K8OAE)
MIQP was lots of fun! First time participating. Thanks for the nice certificate! (AC8PI)
Great addition to the QSO Party. Hope you can keep in the program. (N8DXR)
Had fun ~ running 3 watts SSB with the Elad FDM-DUO transceiver, thus giving everyone a little challenge. Nice to work N8OL,KD8NOH,W8LHP, W8PLP, and N8AR. Cheers, Jan K1ND in Washtenaw County
Had a great Time with the Michigan QSO Party and the extra fun with working the Michigan Cabinet Counties (KD8UQN)
Worked quite a few more stations, especially in BERRian county! Thanks for sponsoring this event within the Michigan QSO Party! N8F (op N8XX)
WORKED 6 OF 10 CABINET COUNTIES WHILE OPERATING MOBILE (KE8CQ)
I only wish I could have operated the whole 12 hours. I had a wedding to go to. So I missed about 6 or so hours. It was great fun though and I will probably do it again next year. Thanks guys! 73, Ski (WB8YXI)
Having previously lived in southern Michigan for 8 years (6 in Cabinet Counties) I try every year to participate in the MIQP. I really like that you are adding a touch of Michigan's history to the QSO Party. (KD0JBN)
Where was Cass county ? Thanks for the invite to help with Jackson County. If I am free next year you can count me in . It was fun even though I have a ruptured ear drum and can only hear out of 1 ear! 73 Dave N8DC
It was fun, thanks for doing this. (N8NQN)
My first awareness of the Cabinet Counties. What a neat addition to the Party. Also my first year doing computer logging. What a hoot! (TNX N3FJP) Why didn't I do this years ago? Bob, W8LHP
NEVER HEARD CALHOUN, BARRY OR CASS. DID HEAR BRANCH, BUT COULDN'T WORK. WILL BE NICE TO HAVE THE SPECIAL AWARD. THANKS FOR DOING IT. BILL N8NJA
DO THIS AGAIN (KC8YOC)
Thanks for a great contest. Sorry conditions were so bad down here. Could not even work my best friend Harold N9CQX in Barrien. 73 Barry K9YVT
Interesting little contest within a contest which is what makes State QP's so interesting and entertaining. (W4ANT)
I missed W8CAR in CASS and VANB or I would have had them all. Maybe next time. Thanks for the history lesson. (K8BKM)
Thank you! (W8RU/m)
I'm sure there was somebody transmitting in Cass County, but I never heard them. Regardless, what a great idea. I had fun looking for them. I hope you do something similar again. Best wishes to all of you that made this happen, it's things like this that keep the hobby great. Mike (KD8AUZ)
BARR(2), BERR(20), BRAN(4), CALH(0), CASS(1), EATO(3), INGH(11), JACK(5), LIVI(10), VANB(4) - We handed out LIVI county 845 times to 645 different stations. Congrats to Joe, W8JRK and his team for offering this award, which undoubtedly got many stations and normally-rare counties on the air for the 2015 MiQP! 73, The K8MQP Operating Team (K8CC, KE8OC, W8MJ & WD8S)
Great idea, but I forgot all about hunting the 'Cabinet Counties'. Found these in log after submission. 73 Jim (K8SIA)
Heard Eaton several times but didn't work them. Never heard anyone from Calhoun nor Cass. I enjoyed the extra feature of the QSO Party and several contacts mentioned it. Good idea! Thanks for all your work putting it together. Glad I got to work W8JRK! 73 Ed, KI8Z

Had a lot fun work 10 hours on MI QP Next time I'm going to sit and work 1 freq. from Eaton Co. the score will be higher. 73 Al W8RXY
