[FQP] FQP Announcement distribution

[Christopher Blake]

*Good Morning All,*
*As you may have seen in other emails, I've been doing a bit of unabashed
advertising for the upcoming FQP next weekend.*
*So far our coverage includes:*

   - *ARRL SE Division Director Doug, K4AC*
   - *SM's for NFL, SFL and WCF; all are posting to their websites*
   - *United Kingdom HF Contester's Group*
   - *DL Contest Club (via help from DL1QQ)*
   - *YO Contest Club (via help from YO3JR who competed at my site at WRTC
   2014)*
   - *PY Contest Clubs (via PY4WAS)*
   - *Email announcements also sent to SP9LJD, UA9FAR, OH6NIO, HA8IB,
   LY2ZZ, LX2A, F8BFU, JI3MJK and I4VEQ (some DX folks we worked last year in
   FQP)*

*I plan to send out the announcement to cq-contest and FQP groups next
Monday after this weekend's contests are over.*

*HOW  YOU CAN HELP:*
*I have copied below the announcement - please feel free to send to other
groups, clubs and individuals both in and out of state.  You can keep my
name if you don't want email responses, or just substitute your own info at
the bottom before you send it out.*

*Also, if you haven't yet done so please sign up your fixed, rover or
mobile FQP activation plans at the floridaqsoparty.org
<http://floridaqsoparty.org> website.  Just click on the left link
'counties on the air', and then click on the link in the 1st sentence on
the word 'form'.*
*There are only 10 mobiles and about 8 fixed stations shown so please try
to fill this out a bit so our out of state participants can see the big
party we have planned.*

*Let's get the tree shakin' up a bit for more FQP activity!*
