[FQP] CQ FQP - Recruiting Mobiles!

[Christopher Blake]

Hi Richard,
Thanks for letting us know about your FQP Mobile plans - having a Digital
Mobile entry may be a first (Dan or others perhaps can confirm) - either
way, great new addition and most welcome!

Still awaiting word from several mobile-stalwarts of past FQP's including
teams *W4AN, K2CIB, N4CW, K1RQ, K1XX, W4MR, N5NA, W5WMU, W5YAA,
K4FCG/K4KNQ, N4GI.  *
Who's all-in this year for a mobile FQP run, gents?
Anyone I miss (sorry)?

Hope you can participate so we have a record number on the road for this
special anniversary edition.

Tnx es vy 73/OJ,
Chris, NX4N
