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.   

GL & vy 73, Dan

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..
