Hello guys:
Note the message below from Gene, N5CE, a new resident of Atlanta.
Please reply directly to Gene if you are interested. It is safer to
have two (or just a driver who could be a non-ham). It is a whole lot
of fun too. KU8E and I made about 1900 QSOs in 20 hours last year, all
on CW! 73, John, K4BAI.

John,
I'll definitely plan on participating in the GQP...The only thing that
could prevent my participation is if
I had to work on the weekend, which I don't see happening since I've got
a
lot of training to do to get up to speed...I would imagine I could knock
out all the counties in
that big blank spot up in the northeastern quadrant at the very
least...If I can, and time allows, I'll do
even more...Are you or any of the members of the contest club aware of
someone who might be
interested in "pairing up" for this outing? It would be a lot more fun
and more productive QSO-wise if one could be operating while the other
drives, and switch
off from time to time...When I did the Oklahoma QSO party I was solo and
would have to drive
myself to a new county then operate, then move on down the line...I
managed 628 Q's but I felt I
could have done quite a bit more if it had been a 2-op effort.
I operate both SSB and CW using my laptop interfaced to my Kenwood
TS440S and I use
WriteLog software. If there's any help you could give me on finding a
partner for the GQP
that would be super. Thanks for all your help, John, I really
appreciate it.
Gene N5CE
