Non-Michigan stations may work only Michigan stations, while Michigan stations may contact anyone. The Michigan QSO Party occurs on the third Saturday in April. All stations may operate the full twelve hours. Single operators who receive any form of assistance such as spotting nets are classified as multi-operator. Multi-operator entries may have multiple transmitted signals on the air at any one time and are not categorized by power.
Motion is optional.
Mobile entries may have multiple operators, and are limited to 100W output or less. Mobile entries must submit separate logs for each geographic area activated. Mobile stations are allowed to maintain a continuous sequence of serial numbers for all contacts, or may begin with serial number 001 for each separate geographic area activated. The only requirement is that no serial number be repeated within one geographic area. Each complete non-duplicate SSB contact is worth one point.
