  * *FIXED STATIONS: *
    The FQP Almanac is predicting *CAUTIOUS *conditions for you –
    Disconnect those antennas for Friday's Front passing through.
    For FQP, scattered thunderstorms across nearly all the state means
    you should be diligent to watch for intermittent rain static and
    lightning. Most all our ops in the Sunshine State should have fairly
    decent weather. */Have fun & keep an eye peeled for those infrequent
    Boomers!!/**//*

*//*


*ATTN:  OUT-OF-STATE OPS!*

*_'LUV' BUGS:_*

/*FQP Nature Beat Reporters N4OX, WO4O, NF4A, N1TO, N4BP, N4UU, K5KG AND 
N6AR*are all reporting _HUGE SWARMS_ of *LOVEBUGS*at their stations all 
across FLA. /

/The LOVEBUGS are reportedly on the move at nearly the speed of light 
heading beyond our state, starting throughout the Southern US, passing 
on to New England and the Midwest, racing into Canada and Mexico and 
pushing Westward across the US past the Rockies to the Pacific Coast, 
then quickly spreading World Wide! /

/Panic will soon ensue - but your trusty FQP Almanac provides everything 
you need to be prepared.../

/
/

/*First, some useful information- */

/Please note that Florida LOVEBUGS are highly intelligent, having 
mastered both Phoenetic and CW skills and can even change their 
wavelengths and callsign lengths.  These adaptive critters are very 
active both day and night, and even been known to dig themselves out of 
pileups no matter how deep. /

/
/

/How do you know when you've spotted the real Florida LOVEBUGS?/

/When they pop up they instantly draw a crowd of *crazy, deranged 
people* who have been bit by this mischievous Bug./


/Sadly, LOVEBUG Madness is _not_ preventable - no vaccine for the fever 
is effective, although contact with local FL County Bugs does provide 
some temporary relief.  Unfortunately, the fever always returns no 
matter how one ignores it./

/
/

/The only true cure is by capturing all of them. _*Yes, ALL*_ - or the 
fever continues.../

/Dare I say we have BUG-mania on our hands???/

/Oh, there is another addictive bug out there lurking - but the dreaded 
Vibroplex Bug is beyond the scope of this almanac./

/
/

/*Out-Of-State Ops - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED:*/

/*Be sure to capture all those LOVEBUGS! */

/*
*/

/*Who will be first to be cured?*/


*Tnx and Enjoy THE Party!*
