[CQ-Contest] 7QP and more this weekend

[Dick Frey]

Now that the dust has settled on the FQP, it's time to get ready for the 
next big party, the 7QP. We have mobiles and county expeditions going 
into the nether regions of the 7th call area. That means there will be 
RARE counties and Very RARE GRIDS in plenty on the bands. We hope to 
break our previous counties record this year (out of 259 that is).

2018 marks the debut of the DESIGNATED MOBILE WINDOW, 35-40kHz. FQP had 
a very successful 30-40kHz window. Fixed ops should refrain from running 
stations in this window. If we run out of room, we'll ask for more next 
year.

7QP is 13z May 5 to 07z May 6. The New England, Indiana and Delaware QPs 
are also this weekend. If you are not in New England, Indiana, Delaware, 
or the 7th area, use the IN7QPNE QSO party in N1MM+. Those inside those 
four should select their own party. N1MM logger will let you copy the 
complete exchange from everyone. This lets you be in all four parties 
from the same log. Please send your Cabrillo logs to 7qplogs at 7QP.org, 
logs at neqp.org, inqp at hdxcc.org, and qsoparty at gmail.com. They will drop 
any non-counting QSOs and score it for you.

Go out there and have fun.
