[SEDXC] GQP 2009

[Jeff Carter]

While I recognize the conflict, I respectfully submit that as many times as 
I've heard people say they've talked to that guy, I've never once seen a QSL 
card.

Therefore, I've opted to participate in the GQP, although I'm far from a major 
player I can at least activate my sparsely-populated county (Pickens).

In all seriousness, isn't Easter a highly variable holiday, in that it's 
possible any Sunday between March 22 and April 25?  Doesn't the problem 
eventually work itself out?

Band conditions being what they are, it may not matter when it's scheduled.
