[WIQPmail] WiQP County Activation Overview

[Larry Peterson]

I sent out our KD9CSI county route a few days ago.  I do not know why it 
was not included in the latest listing of mobile units.   We will be 
multi-op, multi-station mobile with voice on 75, 40 & 20 meters and 
146.55 MHz, starting in Portage county and traveling through 15 
counties, in total.

That includes CAL, MIL, OUT and OZA.

We will send out an APRS trail as KD9CSI-6.
