[FQP] 2012 - Celebrating the 15th Anniversary FQP!

[Chris Plumblee]

Also, as W3DYA pointed out, the QSL route for the 1x1 calls would be worth
publicizing.

The manager for the 15 calls in my email below is N4PJ. Cards will be
available to confirm counties, etc from Art.

drop me a line so I'll be aware. If you've not reserved your call yet,
please consider getting a different suffix to avoid confusion.
