[FQP] 2017 FQP Registered Mobile and Fixed Station County - Friday 4/28

[Christopher Blake]

Hi All,
Don't know if you checked it out on the floridaqsoparty.org website yet,
but we have a Boatload of Fixed and Mobile stations registered for the 20th
anniversary, including:

   - 20 1X1 stations spelling "FLORIDA SUN"
   - 38 Fixed stations + many more not registered
   - 19 Mobile/Portable stations

All 67 counties will be active on both Phone and CW.  We have several 1st
time participants too - welcome!

*Out-of-State Ops *- **You** are the key to our success!
Fun is the name of the game, and we have LOTS of games:
-  Go wild with the Spelling Bee - How fast can work "Florida Sun"?
Another challenge - how many of these 1x1's can you work on each band/mode?
-  Hunt for those Mobiles/Portables as they scurry about switching
counties. We have mobiles active on both modes and all bands- catch us if
you can!
-  Find all those Fixed Stations on each band and mode - we'll be waiting
for you!
-  See how fast you can get a 'Sweep' of all 67 Counties.  Want a bigger
challenge? Try working a Sweep on both modes!
-  Try occasionally calling CQ Florida - you may be surprised at the number
of answers!
-  Feel free to end each QSO with 'OJ', in memory of Jim K4OJ (sk) who led
efforts to revitalize FQP 20 years ago and was its biggest cheerleader.

We encourage you to use the fantastic Country tracking tools by K0RC and
NO5W; you can find them on our website's Counties page.  And some mobile
are on APRS too!

And above all - HAVE FUN!

The Party's about to begin - GO FQP!

vy 73/OJ,
Chris, NX4N
