2012:
The 2012 FQP will be the 15th running under the sponsorship of the Florida
Contest Group. To celebrate, there will be 15 stations using 1x1 callsigns
whose suffixes spell out the words "FLORIDA QSO PARTY". Work all 15 and
get a special certificate! All 15 1x1 stations are being operated from
fixed locations with directional antennas, in order to maximize the number of
1x1 sweeps. Details of the special 1x1 event:

And speaking of sweeps, the always popular pursuit of the 67 FL Counties
will be aided by many mobiles circling around the state. Each county will
be active by multiple stations. Track those mobiles using
