Announcing
The 1999
Nebraska QSO Party
Sponsored by the Nebraska QSO Party Group.
Join in on a really fun and laid back QSO Party! This is our 4th year, and
we've nearly doubled participation each year! Nebraskans are not typically
contester types so don't be surprised by an occasional rag-chew during the
contest. After all it is a "QSO" Party, right? We've got some nice
certificates and very nice plaques for your shack wall. This year we've
again added bonus points for Nebraska stations who go mobile or portable to
entice activity from "rare" Nebraska counties. We are yet to have entries
from all 50 states so just send in your log and win your state. It's that
easy!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Busy this weekend...next?
Message-ID: <005401be8a1d$d89e72e0$68cb5c18@tampabay.rr.com>
Dunno about y'all but I did a lot of wrench twisting this weekend...some
soldering, too! Getting my mobile and portable antennas ready for next
weekend.
Next weekend I will be mobiling with Kevin, KS9O during the Floirda QSO
Party. Along with the assistance of W1CW we prepped some tower, some
antennas and my truck....
Like many other mobile teams we will be helping to activate as many (barring
fires!) of Florida's 67 counties as possible.
In an earlier posting I had said there were 10,00 QSOs made in the FQP by
Floridian stations last year...I was wrong...logchequer extraordinaire K1TO
tells me it was over 20,000. That was in the first year of the sponsorship
of the FQP by the Florida Contest Group. We want more QSOs this year..and we
hope many of you will oblige us!
Many of you have tricolor certificates and plaques from last years premier
of the new FQP...we have made some minor changes since last year thanks to
many of the comments YOU gave after last years contest.
Among the changes are dropping of the 80 meter band due to inability of
mobile teams to put out a decent signal on those bands...and we have changed
the hours so that we have ten basically daylight hours on both days for 10 -
40 meter operating.
For full details on the FQP please check the FQP website authored by WD4AHZ.
It is an excellent resource for not only the rules, but records which we
know you want to break - and even the proposed itineraries of the mobile
teams! Florida hams have checked in and given commitments as to what
counties they will be activating - USE THE CHART ON THE WEBSITE TO PLOT YOUR
STRATEGY TO SWEEP THE 67 COUNTIES!
I hope you will join us this year...it is after all a PARTY, and believe you
me...us Floridians now how to do that! Florida stations will be very active
and looking for you non-Floridians to keep us busy!
