[FQP] 2015 FLORIDA QSO PARTY (FQP) ANNOUNCEMENT

[Charles Sanders]

GM Chris --

FQP is almost here, whoppee!

Saw your announcement re "At least 15 Mobile stations will be on" and I'm
currently counting only 10 mobiles on the COTA page. Sure hope those
additional 5+ will post their plans soon so their activity can be published
on the maps planning tool.

Good luck to everyone and especially safe travels to the mobiles.
