Hope you will be able to participate in our annual Georgia QSO Party on
Apri1 and 15.  All information can be found on the GQP Home Page at
http://georgiaqsoparty.org.  It runs 10 hours on Sat (1800Z to 0359Z Sunday)
and 10 hours on Sunday (14Z to 2359Z) on 160 to 6 meters CW/Digital and SSB.
Georgia with 159 counties has more counties than any other US state other
than TX and the small size of most of them means that the mobiles and rovers
are frequently changing counties.

Suggested frequencies are 1815 and 45 kHz up on CW and on 1865, 3810, 7190,
14250, 21300, and 28450 SSB.  Also 50095 and 50135 on 6M.  Digital would be
near traditional digital calling frequencies.  Multipliers for Mixed Mode
stations are counted per mode (not per band).

Band conditions have been pretty good recently, including 20M often being
open at night and 15 and 10 providing a lot of QSOs during the daylight
hours.

Rapidly moving mobiles have been a hallmark of the GQP, particularly on CW.

Please join in the fun for as much time and you can and send in your log.

Awards are available for high power, low power, and QRP entries from the
various states, provinces, countries and GA counties.

Thanks for your support and for passing this information on to others who
might be interested.

73, John, K4BAI.
