[FQP] Fwd: Final Announcement: Florida QSO Party is this weekend April 28& 29

[Christopher Blake]

Good Morning FQPer's,
I received this wonderful email from Phil HB9ARF.
Please note the Helvetia contest is also this weekend and they are making
special accommodations to accept Florida Station's FQP exchange as-is.
That's so nice of them; another FB example of the international spirit of
friendship that Ham Radio brings to us all.


Tick, tick, tick...73/OJ,
Chris, NX4N

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your message about Florida QSO Party

This week end we have our annual Helvetia contest from 1300Z April 28 until
1259Z April 29
I will be QRV during the Helvetia with our club HB9AA

For your information you will find hereunder a note frome our USKA Traffic
Manager :

*"Other contests running in parallel to Helvetia Contest*

In order to minimize disturbances between contests we relaxed our rules on
an informal basis.

*Florida QSO Party*: Florida stations can send their normal exchange:
Signal Report and County.
Swiss stations log either Signal Report and County or Signal Report and 000
depending on what your logging software supports."
