HI Darrell
I think the 1 point rule is great. I'll still work DX over U.S
stations every time, but when the DX is gone, I've got someone to
work. It gives us little pistols a lot more action, and keeps
the contest from getting boring. I only have one more thing to
add to this thread. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE RULE, DON'T OPERATE
THE CONTEST!!! What's so hard about that. 73

With the other major Spring operating events out of the way, it is time for
everyone to start thinking about Florida!
The Florida QSO Party is April 24 & 25, less than a month away.
Florida hams are encouraged to check into the Florida QSO Party website
listed below...there you will see a map of Florida showing counties where we
have operator commitments. If you live in a county that is not colored
Orange (what a great color) that means we need your help! Please help us
once again activate all of Florida's counties like we were able to do last
year. Special help is needed in the Jacksonville area, if you are a member
of a club in that area please let your friends know its time for the Florida
QSO Party. Please reproduce this information in your club newsletters and
bulletins...the more operators we get on the are the merrier the Party!
Handsome certificates and plaques await the deserving...check out the
website for rules, and other info on the next great QSO party. Last year
there were over 10,000 Florida QSOs made in the FQP, this year we hope to
make that over 20,000. With your help this will be a reality. Major
software manufacturers are supporting the FQP so out of state contesters -
boot up and help us Floridians stay busy next month!
