Have you wondered which QSO Parties have the most "Participation"?
 
The list below is a "rough" estimate.
I picked the numbers off each party's web site.
Some counting was necessary so please forgive any errors.
Also some states results were 2007 and some were 2006, I used what was available.
GQP is in the top ten...."roughly".
NEQP is New England Party, and includes several states.
7QP also includes many western states.
 
In doing this survey, I found the thing that made the difference was the number of INSTATE logs entered.
Lee's (WI4R) work to bring the GA clubs into the party will pay off big.

A measure of "Activity" is the number of QSO's in each event, and I have not pulled that info together.
 
I think this qualifies as a good ol' "Factoid".
