Jeff: There IS time. It's the internet age, after all. I am pretty
sure the ARRL news editor would be glad to have a news item that he
could put on their web page headlined:

Georgia QSO Party Fights Virus with Timely Rules Changes

A lot of clubs and groups pick up those ARRL news stories and pass them along.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, OM.

Jim,


I would consider that for GQP but I don't know that I have time to get the
word out in time since it's only 9 days away.

I know it's been discussed before and rejected but allowing 80 meters in the
FQP for just this year might be a good idea. Maybe even allow 160 meters as
well. I'm afraid that activity is going to be way down without having
mobiles to chase around. I just updated my GQP activity map on the web page
yesterday and we went from over 2/3 of the GA counties covered to less than
1/3 because I removed the planned mobile/portable operations.  Ouch that
hurts ! Plus it didn't help that GQP falls on Easter weekend this year.

Jeff
