[CQ-Contest] Louisiana QSO Party this weekend

[Mark Ketchell]

Hi Folks,
	In addition to the CQ WPX RTTY, the Louisiana QSO Party is this Saturday, 
from 1500 Saturday to 0300 Sunday. Rules can be found 
at:  http://www.qsl.net/kd5wdy/LAQSO_/laqso_.html.

	IN Louisiana stations will give signal report and 3 or 4 letter Parish 
abbreviation. Outside LA gives signal report and state or province. Links 
to Parish abbreviations, log sheets and summary sheets can also be found at 
the url above.

	At least 6 hardcore rovers will be participating, and plans are to 
activate all 64 parishes, so if you are a County/Parish hunter, this will 
be a good chance to get them.

	For N1MM users, we have been working with the sponsors and the N1MM team 
to update things. A special thanks to John, K3CT, for all the effort in 
making sure it scores everything correctly. The newest release, supporting 
the current rules is 11.02.02, placed on the N1MM website 2/10/2011. Any 
previous versions will NOT score correctly, so please update if you plan to 
participate.

	The sponsor does request a summary sheet, in addition to your Cabrillo 
file, so no matter what software you use, please check the requirements and 
make sure everything is there.

	In addition to the rovers, a number of Louisiana fixed stations will be on 
the air, so if not busy, look to the Gulf South and join us for a cup of 
gumbo and a good time in the Louisiana QSO Party.

	Laissez les bon temps roulez (Let the good times roll)
