Oops.. Actually CAQP is not the correct term used in this
contest! It's always CQP of course. I knew something didn't look
right. Thanks to john K4BAI for the correction.

Hi Kevan,
Excellent question!
The out of state station calls CQ CA. California
stations use CQP. Same for any state QSO Party. Outside
stations call CQ CA, GA, TN etc. (the state you are calling). Out
of state folks calling CQ CQP or CQ GQP causes
confusion and will get many out of state callers. Some
folks call CQ CQP de K1ZZI/GA. This works but I don't
recommend it. CQ CA de K1ZZI/GA is okay and adds safety but I
rarely use this method either. Generally, calling CQ CQP should be
reserved for CA stations. I use: CQ CA K1ZZI K1ZZI
CQ CA means you are soliciting CA only. If you hear CQP then
it "should" be a soliciting CA station. CQP is an excellent QSO
Party with lots of activity. One of my favorites.

Hi all,
Planning on doing the CAQP in a couple weeks. I'm not much of a
CW operator anymore and haven't done many state QSO parties. What are
some suggestions for an efficient way to call CQ for this contest on
CW? I'm thinking some of the non-contestors in Californina may or may
not know what CQ CAQP means. How can I maximize response?
