[CQ-Contest] 2018 Georgia QSO Party

[Jeff Clarke]

The 2018 version of the Georgia QSO Party is only a few weeks away. I 
have been working hard to publicize it inside Georgia to get more fixed 
stations to get on the air. One popular feature we added to the web page 
is an activity map that has pins for all the counties that will be 
active.  You can see that map at 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T2GOtNMFVMyoVwD_WtQoSkJw408zdIY4&usp=sharing 
. A big thank you goes out to Chuck, NO5W, who provides the Google Map 
overlays on his web page at http://www.no5w.com/CQxCountyOverlays-DL.php 
. It's actually pretty easy to create a map of activity or maybe your 
rover route. If you run a QSO party or just want to make a route map for 
a rover operation contact me and I can share what I've learned with you.

Believe or not K4BAI and I have been going rovering for about 15 years 
using the W4AN call sign. I thought it was about time (plus I have some 
time on my hands :) ) to have a web page dedicated to our rover 
contesting. Checkout http://ku8e.com/Radio/W4ANRover.php and tell me 
what you think? There are some maps on it with our route for the GQP and 
I will also add a map for the Florida QSO Party when it gets closer to 
that weekend.

As always we are looking for any of you rover contesting aficionados 
(you know who you are?) to come visit warm and sunny Georgia during the 
weekend of April 14-15th and have some fun activating a bunch of Georgia 
counties. Hopefully all of our hard work will make this event a fun time 
for everyone both inside and outside of Georgia.
