Good Monday Morning.

NY4N  has checked in and posted a route that covers the NE corner of GA, all 
those  open areas up there.
Jeff and Becky also will monitor 80M for  close/neighbor state calls.
The web is updated to show the current  coverage, Jeff and Becky really made 
a difference.  Thanks.

I  think we still have 33 open counties.  
A band of counties east of  Spalding and some scattered few in the south are 
open.
W4JO is reworking  his run, and I will probably do a run on Sunday to catch a 
few more.
Tell  us of your plans if you have not checked in.
"Now is the time for all good  hams to come to the aid of the GA QSO party."

We did get a great  publicity boost from NS3T's article  at:
http://www.radio-sport.net/gaqp09_pre.htm ,
There have been several  notes mentioning the posting.
A big thanks to Jamie Dupree for this  excellent favor.

At the Atlanta Radio Club on Thursday night, I  presented our slide show on 
GQP.
There was a very lively discussion, and  plans are afoot for a club operation.
Several Rover efforts were also  discussed.
One member is putting up a 40M wire quad to work CA and the  west.

Another member discussed an Aero Rover, flying over several  counties.
The question was "Do I have to land in each county?"  My  answer was "Nope".
Just keep on truckin', er... flying.  "Just be sure  of your location and 
county."
This operation was described as very IFFY, so  it was not committed.
But we do hope they can pull it off, it might be a  FIRST in the country.

ARC, the Walton club, and a few more are setting  up operations like Field 
Day.
Some of these outings are for fun, some  compete with more concentration.
But "Brats and  Burgers" or "Mults  and QSOs" are both good reasons to enjoy 
the event.
This will put them in  the Multi Multi category, probably Low Power.
We now have a new Plaque  award for this kind of operation.

Thanks to all who are working so hard  on this, and to all the sponsors and 
donors who support us for the  awards.

I will post any late breaking news as it  happens...

73,
Mike

We need new pics, some video would be fun  too!

Please use ne4s at iham.us or mike1230 at mcnet.us as my  address.
GQP, the fastest growing QSO party, is on  4/11+12  2009.
See gqp.contesting.com !
Be well
