To contest fans who just love a good write-up full of insights as to the 
competitor's successful strategies or an analysis of how propagation 
played a role I have a suggestion for you... go to:

The results and writeup for the 2,003 Florida QSO Party are now on line. 
  Before you dismiss it as just a state QSO Party take a minute to enjoy 
the work of a master.

The Florida Contest Group takes great pride in its sponsorship of the 
Florida QSO Party - in the short time we have taken stewardship of the 
FQP it has grown into a pretty major event!  One of the reasons for its 
success is the personal pride exhibited by the write-up's author.

Read the write-up - you will see a fascinating collection of insights by 
none other than a three time WRTC Champion.  Florida Contest Group 
President, and WRTC co-champion K1TO beats a lot of us most of the time, 
ever wonder how?  To get an insight inside his mind and how it works - 
read the writeup!  It might inspire you - it might humble you - but one 
thing is for sure it will keep you riveted.

The 2,003 running of the Florida QSO Party is almost upon us - it is 
next month on April 26th and 27th.  Rules are at the FQP site - why not 
make it a point to participate in a contest where the winning mobile 
teams average 100/hour or more, a European entry can Sweep all 67 
Florida Counties and the fixed station SSB champ makes 2457 QSO's in 20 
hours!!!

Florida Ham clubs are encouraged to contact the Florida Contest Group - 
the FQP makes a great introduction to HF Contesting for new hams - it is 
an opportunity for Florida hams to be rare DX as the sought after 
stations... it is just plain fun!

Be sure to check what the records are from your QTH - and plan on 
breaking them come April 26th and 27th!

Come April 26th there will be Floridians eager to fatten their logs 
including mobile teams ready for action with just one thought:

Let's Roll!


73,

Jim, K4OJ


...oh yeah, 43 days until the FQP 2,003 - be there!
