The annual Georgia QSO Party will be held on the weekend of April 14 and
15 this year. Times are 1800 to 0359Z on Saturday/Sunday and 1400 to
2359Z on Sunday. 10 hours each day. As usual, there will be a number
of mobile operations, as well as portable and fixed stations. Georgia
has 159 counties, the most in the US other than for TX. And many of the
counties are small enough that mobiles can go through them in 20 minutes
or so. A mobile becomes a new station each time it changes counties.
Each station can be worked once on CW and once on SSB on the 160, 80,
40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands. Nice certificates and plaques are
awarded. In several recent years, all counties have been active, but we
have never had anyone work all the counties in one weekend. Maybe this
will be the year for that. All information is available on the GQP
website, www.georgiaqsoparty.org. including announced operations from
each county and results from prior years. Spotting and self-spotting
are permitted and encouraged.
Please join us in this fun event to the extent that you have time.
Thanks and 73,
John, K4BAI
GQP Director.
