Hi Gal&#39;s and Guy&#39;s....it&#39;s only a few weekends away to the GQP....some of us have been looking forward to this event for a greater part of the year...I know that I am really getting excited and ready myself...<br>
<br>&quot;on this day in history in&nbsp; <font color="#000000"><font size=""><font size="3"><b> 1965 </b>   Gemini 3 launched, 1st US 2-man space flight (Grissom &amp; Young) and prominent Ga contestor&#39;s K4BAI, K4TBN (now K4PI), K4FRM (now K4GK), WA4ARV (now NQ4I),W4YWX (now N4PN)&nbsp; and other&#39;s to be revealed later, were in preparation for the Georgia QSO Party...it was a fun filled weekend with qso&#39;s to be made with stations all over the US and the World....<br>
<br>Now&#39;s time to start your planning for the GQP...make some memories in the GQP...meet friends from all over the US and the World on ssb , cw, and rtty....<br><br>KU8E has rover and fixed station routes and announcements...if you need a place to operate, there will be others who will be willing to open up their station ...our local club will be airing the call sign K4HYB which is the call sign of the late Charles E Newton of Griffin...this call sign has been dormant from contesting&nbsp; since the mid to late 60&#39;s...I used it a number of times then in ARRL DX contests way back then...it was used by the Griffin Radio club in the 60&#39;s for Field Day operations ....some of the op&#39;s from Griffin are still active today on the bands...<br>
<br>I would like for those of you to post your proposed operation on our reflector...lets get things motivated and energetic for our GQP!!!<br><br>Lets get the reflector humming with our activity plans...de Rick<br></font></font></font>
