[FQP] Florida QSO Party - preliminary stats

[Christopher Blake]

Thanks as always Bob for the excellent analysis tool!

FYI for those seeking a quick county sweep- I will be activating the
(semi-rare) South FL counties on cw **early** in the contest.  If you miss
me it may take you a while to find a fixed station in those counties (I am
the only mobile in several of those counties and the first one activating
other one nearby).

Should be fun for all - particularly if the propagation and love bugs
cooperate!
