[SFDXA] Florida QSO Party 2012 - this weekend!

[Bill]

O Party.
This is the 15th running of the FQP under the sponsorship of the Florida 
Contest Group, so we've cooked up something special.  There will be 15 
1x1 fixed stations whose suffixes spell out "FLORIDA QSO PARTY".  
Details of the special 1x1 event: 
http://www.floridaqsoparty.org/files/1x1announcement.pdf
New plaques (bringing the total to 37) are added for:
Top Florida Mobile Multi-Two (tnx K9OM)
Top Poland CW (tnx K3TW/SO5TW)
Top Score Caribbean/Central/South America (tnx NX4N)
Top Florida Mobile - Most Counties Activated (tnx K3TW)
First Station To Work All Special FQP 1X1 Callsigns (CW & SSB) (tnx 
PCARS - W4MLB)
It took us a while, but we finally added a Single Op Assisted category 
to distinguish from Multi-Single.
15M should be better than it's been for at least 5 years.
Full rules at http://www.floridaqsoparty.org/rules.html

So please join the party and help us all make 2012 an unprecedented year
