> Hello to all 2005 TQP 'Dillos Worldwide -
>
> This weekend marks the 2005 Texas QSO Party. Unfortunately, it appears it
> will also mark the arrival of Hurricane Rita! The TQP committee discussed
> both canceling TQP and trying to move it to another weekend but felt that
> ample time to communicate the change did not exist. Much of Texas will not
> be effected and many have made plans for both mobile and fixed station
> operations.
>
> Therefore, we would ask that everyone follow a few contest guidelines:
>
> 1. If  you are in a Hurricane impacted area please base your level of
> participation on your personal safety and the safety of those for whom you
> are responsible.
>
> 2. Please monitor NOAA radio and other media broadcasts for the latest
> weather information, and adjust your operation accordingly.
>
> 3. Please remember the potential for extremely heavy rain, flash floods,
and
> tornadoes from the hurricane exists. Stay alert.
>
> And most importantly, all stations should plan to operate well away from
any
> ARES, Red Cross, Salvation Army, health and welfare, and NTS nets so that
> their traffic can proceed without interruption. LISTEN BEFORE YOU
TRANSMIT.
>
> Have a great time, and be safe. The TQP Committee looks forward to
receiving
> your entry.
