Already 500 logs received in just two days !  That's an all time high since I took over running the GQP a few year ago.
 
 
 Going into GQP we didn't know what to expect because the rover stations are always a big part of it. Both AD4EB and KN4Y had planned to come to Georgia to activate many counties and the regulars W4AN, N4I and N4N had plans as well. It really sucked that we weren't allowed to do these rover operations due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in Georgia. I hope Jim and Ed  (and others) can make it next year. It turned out that the number of Georgia counties active was probably 1/3 of what it usually is. But the activity from Georgia fixed stations exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all the clubs in Georgia for encouraging their members to get on the air.  A big thanks goes out to the North Fulton Amateur Radio League who supports the GQP in a big way every year. They were responsible for all those 1x1 special calls you worked. 
 
 
Also, Thanks to those who volunteered to be GQP bonus stations : 
 
 
 W4AN - KU8E, K4BAI and KT4ZB 
 
 
W4NT - K4BAI, N4RJ, W6IZT, W4GKF and NI4Y
 
I thought the bonus station idea worked out very well. I got this idea from what they do in the IARU contest with HQ stations at multiple locations. 
 

 Please give me feedback on what you might want in 2021. We will be keeping the Multi-2 class since WW4LL stepped up to sponsor this plaque.
 
Here are some other thoughts:
 
    
   -  I'm also open to maybe allowing one call sign to be used at multiple locations but only in the same county. If you are M/S you can only transmit one signal at a time. Mult-2 can transmit two signals.   
 
   - Keep the GQP bonus stations
   - Maybe count multipliers only once. Not by mode
 
Let me know you thoughts. Also share this email with your local club.
