If you remember The former contest director ignored all of our efforts to
contact him and I had to try
to contact everyone who we thought had submitted a log to resubmit it again.
What a mess !!
I believe John will still be rovering this year.... In my case I have to
choose between GQP and FQP and I have chosen to make my trip for FQP. I will
still be active in GQP from home from "rare" Harris County...
Please support NE4S by putting in some operating time in GQP. Then it will make
his job of doing all the log checking and oher stuff he does more worthwhile.
You would be surprised how hard log checking can be. Some people just don't
check their Cabrillo file before they email it to you. You would
be amazed that many of the popular logging programs don't generate a correct
file. Paper logs ??? Don't get me started on that !!!
