MCQC J162847-4152 is one of 40 objects found in the course of our systematic and complete survey for new microquasars in the whole Galactic plane (see project description in astro-ph/0110511). It is optically brightest and mostly definite microquasar candidate in the list, which we describe as follows: 1) It is a bright ROSAT source, 1RXS J162848.1-415241, in the Galactic plane (b=4.7deg), with a hard X-ray spectrum (HR1 = 1.00+/-0.04), which is characteristic of X-ray binaries (Motch et al., AAS 132, 341, 1998).
