Here are some GQP tidbits :
1) 10 planned mobile operations (and counting ?)
2) 151 of 159 counties so far
3) If you worked each planned mobile operation just one time in each county
they plane to activate
you would make over 250 QSO's. This doesn't even include working the
fixed stations. Double
this if you work them on an other mode. If you worked each mode on say
20cw/ssb and 40 cw/ssb
you could potentially make 1000 QSO's working just mobile contacts.
If conditions hold up this could be one of the best Georgia QSO Parties EVER.
BTW.. You have probably heard about the bonus prizes ? See
http://gqp.contesting.com/GQPPrizes2.htm
We have recieved some additional donations and this will be expanded even
though it is not publicized on the webpage yet. I have suggested the following
the Mike, NE4S as additions :
1) GA station that works most mobile QSO's
2) Top score from a state bordering GA - (FL,SC,TN,AL) - we understand how
tough this can be
3) Top West Coast Score
Mike also though of :
4) First GA station to get WAS
Any other ideas ???
The prizes for these categories would be some food product from Lane Packing -
i.e peaches, nuts, pecans etc...
