I'm looking for more
feedback about the GQP rules. I
feedback I've got
so far has been to keep it the way
it is. Unfortunately the only
responses I've received were from
long time SECC members that have
always been set in their ways and
are reluctant to make changes to
anything. So their responses were
predictable.
Here are some statistics from 2020:
CW Entries : 181
SSB Entries : 219
MIXED Entries: 244
Total CW QSOS : 31275 (Note: In a
normal year when we have rovers you
could probably add 5000+ QSOS to
this total)
Total SSB QSOS: 30983
I would like some more feedback
before I make up my mind.

That might have a deleterious

1400Z (10:00 am EDST) to 2359Z.

multipliers only once and not per

continue to allow Multi-Ops to
operate from more than one
location. These locations need to
be in the SAME COUNTY. You also
need to still follow the rules for
Multi-Single and Multi-2 that are
listed in the rules on the GQP
webpage.

W4AN and W4NT as bonus stations. I
will probably just get rid of the
100 points per QSO and make it one
point value for just making a QSO
- Maybe 500 bonus points. I would
like both these stations to be
operated from just one county.
Maybe as a Multi-Op.

operations will be allowed again.
>> I'm also asking everyone
to please read the rules. The SECC
and SEDXC aren't eligible for the
club competition but I still get
many logs that list both of these
clubs. Also make sure the Cabrillo
file that you submit is correct.
N1MM Logger Plus is pretty
reliable in generating it
correctly but others aren't. I'm
requesting feedback before I make
these changes. Please send me your
comments.
