Howdy 'Dillos -

The TQP Committee is proud to announce a total of five award sponsorships
so far. Here they are:

Texas
=====
1 - QRP Single Operator - Austin QRP Club - KQ5RP
2 - CWO Single Operator - Tom Branch - K4NR
3 - TXM Multiple Operator - Corpus Christi DX Club - KY5V

Non-Texas
=========
4 - Single Operator - Array Solutions (Award, plus a StackMatch)
http://www.arraysolutions.com/
5 - QRP Single Operator - Houston QRP MosQRPitos

How about you and your club? Step up to the plate, be one of the sponsors
of the best, fastest growing state QSO parties. For details, see
http://www.txqp.org.

Now more good news, it's official, you put all 254 Texas counties on the
air in 2003. 253 counties were covered by mobiles, and 1 portable
operation! Yes, it's been done before, but it has been years. Just think,
in the Florida QSO Party they wear boots to wade in to some counties; in
the Cal QSO Party they ware tight pants and carry surf boards; in Texas
"we drive pickup trucks and other stuff!" Let's do it again in 2004.
