Hello All...

After hearing about Jim White's death today and reading the different posts
on cq-contest it is apparent that he touched many contesters life in a
positive way.
It was always fun to read his comments on the contest reflector on various
subjects. Tonight , I was thinking of some way we could remember Jim and the
first
thing that came to mind was the FQP. Jim's enthusiasm for the FQP was
legendary. Who can ever forget his "### Days until FQP" messages on the
contest
reflector. I also know is the last few years he had caught the "rovering
bug" that has affected other contesters like K8MR, W5WMU, K8CC, VE7FO, K5KG
and countless others... We also all know Jim as a CW afficionado.


 I think it is approriate to honor K4OJ with one or several memorial
trophies in the Florida QSO Party. Here are some ideas I thought of but I'm
sure someone could come up with even better ones :


    First non-Fla station to work all Florida counties on CW.

    Most CW rover contacts made - Non Fla stations.

    Most CW contacts by a FLA rover station


    See The FQP webpage at http://www.floridaqsoparty.org/plaque.html to see
what is already sponsored. A plaque costs $35 to sponsor.  Maybe we could
take some
    donations and have the plaque sponored by "The Friends of K4OJ "



                                               73, Jeff
