[WIQPmail] New reflector

[Tom Macon]

Hi, John -

I had noticed that you weren't as active in recent WIQPs and it'll be good to hear you back this year (2013).  

I joined the MWA reflector just before WIQP last year and was surprised how many WIQP-related postings there were.  Getting this reflector going is an essential first step.  
I see that the traditional WIQP mobiles are pretty well represented among the early sign-ups here, so there should be good exchange of info.

We need better ways to collect route plans but we probably don't have time to do much different for this year - probably County Hunters plus whatever postings are made here.  The system you guys have for MnQP looks very interesting.  MiQP has something different - need to find out more about it.  Gotta do some homework.

  Hi Tom,

  Congratulations to you and your team for getting this all going.  If there was ever anything missing for the serious WIQP entrant, and particularly the mobile guys, it was the lack of a dedicated reflector to advise, plan, report, etc.  It was always a bit disappointing to make a big mobile effort and then, save 3830 reporting, not have anywhere to post and compare notes.  

  As you probably know, the several MWA guys who mobile through the west, SW, and NW parts of the state for this contest do communicate through the MWA reflector around WIQP time.  It will be nice to not load up the MWA reflector for this.  

  I suspect a good number of the MWA gang--K0PC, W0ZQ, NR0T, WA0MHJ (W0AA), AF9T, NE9U, and N0IJ will end up coming over (hope I didn't forget anyone) and will post routes as the time gets closer.  Right now, we're starting to talk about MNQP the first Saturday in February. 

  I've missed the last two due to conflicts, but hope to return either mobiling or from my contest station in Douglas County which I can remote control from home.
