[FQP] [FCG] FQP operating

 Jack et al - 

The GQP and FQP are different in many ways.

- GA is physically far enough north that 20M skips over many populated areas.  We don't generally have that problem.

- 40M is actually productive during the day from GA.  Not so much from down here, even in N FL.

- The GQP continues until midnight local on Saturday, and until 8 PM Sunday.  Along with the earlier sunset in earlier April, that means about 3 more hours of darkness in the GQP than the FQP.

- For GA stations, they have no incentive to work DX as that all counts as one mult only.  For FL stations, each DXCC counts as a mult, so the high bands are more important.  

20M will always be the key band in the FQP.

After looking over the results from the GQP mobiles, it looks like 40M will 
 be important this year.
I guess I better do more work on the 40M antenna..
