ATTEN: PCARS Contesters:
One more reminder:
The 2024 Florida QSO Party (FQP) begins this weekend on Saturday, April 26th and concludes on Sunday, April 27th. There are two 10-hour operating periods separated by a 10 hour break.
Saturday (Noon EDT) til Saturday Night (9:59:59PM EDT)
Sunday (8AM EDT) to (5:59:59 PM EDT)
Special 2024 FQP Spelling Bee info: They will have a total of 12 special 1×1 stations whose suffixes spell PIRATES. There will be two stations per suffix. Contact at least one station of each suffix letter spelling PIRATES to earn this award. Many of these stations will be on both modes and should be very accessible. QSL these 1×1 calls active in FQP via KU9C direct or via LogBook ofThe World (LoTW).
We should gather an hour earlier (11AM) on Saturday to review rules one more time and to answer any other questions or issues. I hope to see many of you there. And for those who want to find out what contesting is all about, I encourage you to come out. We can even give you some on the spot training, if you wish.
See you there.
