[CQ-Contest] Georgia QSO Party This Coming Weekend

[John T. Laney III]

Hello all:

Next weekend will be the annual Ga QSO Party.  We invite all hams to 
participate.  There are many plaques, certificates, and special prizes, 
including QRP certificates.  Georgia has the second largest number of 
counties in the US:  159.  Many are small and our mobiles can cover a 
lot of counties.  All information can found on or by links from the GA 
QSO Party website:  http://gqp.contesting.com/index.htm.  Links are 
available for rules, county abbreviations list, logging programs, 
summary sheet, etc.  Note that there is a free GQP logging program 
provided by W4GKF. 

We have commitments for coverage for all 159 counties.  No one has yet 
worked them all in one weekend, but this should be the year!  Many fixed 
stations will be QRV.  The SECC club memorial call, W4AN, will be QRV 
from the NQ4I M/M station on Saturday.  Mobiles expected this year 
include:W5JR (Sunday), KN4Y, N4FD, KC4HW, NE4S, NM2L, N0TW/KA3FZO, W4JO, 
W4NZ (with addl ops) K0EJ, N5WR, and K4VIG), W4QO, W3DYA, N4XGI, K4BAI 
(with KU8E), WD4DX, and possibly ND4V. Others will also be welcome.

Many clubs and groups will be operating as well as the big M/M from W4AN 
at NQ4I.

We hope everyone who has access to a rig next weekend will join in the fun.

73,  John, K4BAI
