The big emphasis this week is on this weekend's annual GA QSO Party.
Check http://georgiaqsoparty.org/ for all details. Hope everyone will
be QRV to the extent possible over the weekend and help increase the run
for everyone. On Saturday, the M/M station of NQ4I will be QRV as
K4HYB. There will be many mobiles, portables, and rovers. Several clubs
are having operating events/cookouts. I expect to be using the SECC
club call W4AN/M on CW with K4ETY and Bryan (sorry I forgot his call) on
SSB from many GA counties. Many will be QRV from their home stations.
Be the equivalent of "DX" for the weekend. Call CQ GQP and practice
"running."
