Special 1x1 Call Signs by NFARL to be on-the-air during GQP
 
To encourage participation in the 51st annual Georgia QSO Party, the North Fulton Amateur Radio League has announced it will operate a group of special 1x1 special event call signs during the GA QSO Party on April 14 and 15, 2012.  These call signs comprise a series that spells NFARL in the suffix.  K4N, K4F, K4A, K4R, and K4L will be used by active contesters from the club in order to give maximum opportunity for contacts with these stations.  They will also be seizing on this opportunity to expose some of their members who are new to Ham Radio, to the fun of HF and the thrill of contesting.  

For those contest participants both inside and outside Georgia who log all five special event call signs during the contest, the club is offering a special certificate commemorating the achievement.  Just extract the records for the 5 contacts from your log, paste them in to an e-mail, and send it to: gqp2012 at nfarl.org before May 15, 2012.  There is no charge for this certificate.  They encourage you to be certain to also submit your entire log in Cabrillo format to the Georgia QSO Party at logs at georgiaqsoparty.org. 
 
About the North Fulton Amateur Radio League:
The North Fulton Amateur Radio League is an ARRL Special Service Club whose members generally live just north of Atlanta, GA.  In 2011, the NFARL won the GQP award, a gavel, for the highest aggregate score by a Ham Radio club in Georgia for the third year in a row and had 35 members active in the GQP.  In 2012, they plan to increase their participation level to over 60 stations on the air including the special event stations.  They will be on all contest bands and all modes, including Digital, on both contest days.  Several of the club members, including at least one of the 1x1 call signs, will be operating as Rover stations in counties throughout North and Central Georgia.  All of this increased activity notwithstanding, they will not be pursuing a fourth gavel in 2012.  By acclamation the club leadership has decided to instruct the club membership to assign their scores to other Ham Radio clubs and associations that they may be affiliated with
 and to encourage other clubs throughout the state of Georgia to step up their pursuit the honored top spot.  More details on the NFARL club may be found at <http://www.nfarl.org>.
 
About the Georgia QSO Party:
The GA QSO Party (GQP) is now one of the premier state and provincial QSO Parties in North America. The 2012 event marks the fifty-first consecutive year of the activity.  Each year several hundred Amateur Radio operators throughout the state endeavor to activate all 159 counties, the most of any state except for Texas, during the two ten-hour sessions on the second full weekend of April.
