Hi FQP Frequent Flyers-
Just after releasing the results of the FQP Quiz I started getting more
responses with 'competitive challenges' for several questions.  As a
result, we have some revised results.
Below is a *Final* set of *updates* - Huge TNX to all who responded!

1.  Who was licensed earliest (year)?
*UPDATE:*  Thy Rule is fleeting, Terry.  *Norm, W4QN* has snatched the
prize - he was first licensed Feb 12, 1952 as WN9QQN!  Tnx Norm, you OOT.
Also received additional inputs from:
*N4BP* - licensed two *months* before Terry N4TB  in June 1955 as WN1GIV
(Bob still uses this call in WPX). To Quote Terry, " Gosh that makes BP a
REALLY old OF!"
*K1KNQ* - Jack was licensed in 1959 and just wanted to make sure *K4XS*
knew he beat him (told you - what a competitive bunch LOL!)
*Terry, N4TB claims this prize - he was first licensed in 1955 as WA3EPM!
Congrats Terry, you OT :-)*
*This was the most popular question - Runners up include: NO5W('57),
K4SBZ('58), K4XS('62)*

later)?

*WF3C submitted K1MM, who speaks French, Spanish, Catalan, German, and (I
believe) some Japanese and Chinese. Wow Bill - impressive!*

entrant?

1987 and he even has done MARAC ops from several other states too.  Well
