Oops.. Actually CAQP is not the correct term used in this contest! It's always
CQP of course. I knew something didn't look right. Thanks to john K4BAI for
the correction.

Hi Kevan,
Excellent question!
The out of state station calls CQ CA. California stations use CQP. Same for
any state QSO Party. Outside stations call CQ CA, GA, TN etc. (the state you
are calling). Out of state folks calling CQ CQP or CQ GQP causes confusion and
will get many out of state callers. Some folks call CQ CQP de K1ZZI/GA. This
works but I don't recommend it. CQ CA de K1ZZI/GA is okay and adds safety but
I rarely use this method either. Generally, calling CQ CQP should be reserved
for CA stations. I use: CQ CA K1ZZI K1ZZI
CQ CA means you are soliciting CA only. If you hear CQP then it "should" be
a soliciting CA station. CQP is an excellent QSO Party with lots of activity.
One of my favorites.

Hi all,
Planning on doing the CAQP in a couple weeks. I'm not much of a CW
operator anymore and haven't done many state QSO parties. What are some
suggestions for an efficient way to call CQ for this contest on CW? I'm
thinking some of the non-contestors in Californina may or may not know what CQ
CAQP means. How can I maximize response?
