[FQP] FQP 40m CW window expanded

[Hank Greeb]

Please be advised that the internationally recognized QRP calling and 
operating frequency centers on 7030 KHz, ± a few KHz, and many QRPers 
will be out during the QRP To the Field on Saturday (QRPTTF), times 
coinciding with the Florida QSO party.  Many of the QRP rigs are crystal 
controlled, so will need to operate within the suggested FQP mobile 
frequency "window."

I mention this only to alert the contesters.  The QRP folks do not 
intend to interfere with the Mobiles, and we assume that the mobiles 
will not intend to interfere with QRP stations.  We all realize that no 
one has a "right" to any frequency, and we will attempt to not interfere 
with the intent of the FQP operations.

However, in my experience, contesters (and I'm a semi-die-hard 
contester) do not always share the same viewpoint.

72/73 de n8xx Hg  (Operating QRPTTF beginning at 1500Z Saturday, April 
28 and ending about 0300Z Sunday, April 29)

I might say "give my 4.9 watt "peanut whistle" a break. :)
