[Bill]

Hello-Hallo-Hola-Ciao-Olá-Dzień dobry FQP Friends -

We have some exciting new updates for you regarding the 2019 Florida QSO 
Party being held *April 27&28.*

*First:*

*The eagerly awaited 2018 FQP Final Results and Write**Up are now 
available*.

*Dan K1TO and Chris W4WF *have spent many, many (many!) hours ensuring 
these results are accurate and the write up informative and 
entertaining. The non-US plaques were shipped April 1st and the US 
plaques were shipped April 10th.  Certificate generation is coming soon 
but not yet ready; please QRX.  I must reiterate just how much heavy 
lifting this work entails - so on behalf of all FQP fans, thank you both!

Friends, enjoy the read!

*Second:*

Our FQP website has added translations of our new 2019 Rules into 
several languages including *French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese 
and Spanish.*

Huge thanks to our translators VA2CZ, DK2OY, I4VEQ, K1CC & SP9KR/VA3KL, 
CT7AIX and W4LT & KJ3Q+ his wife for their hard work!!!

Our sincere appreciation to Pierre, Manfred, Claudio, Rich & Andy, Rui 
and Lu and Al and Patty - many thanks again.

*Third*:

activity for both Fixed and Mobile/Expedition FL stations. If you're in
