[LCC] Fwd: LA QSO Party may be gone

[K1DW at aol.com]

LCC,
 
As with forward emails you have to read from the bottom up to understand  
the flow of thought. Here too. 
 
Not sure who talked to whom or what was said, but I would like to entertain 
 keeping the LAQP going..  Could we put together a team out side all clubs? 
 or would some club not mentioned be interested ?
 
Your thoughts ???
 
Dallas k1DW       yes, there is a  one  in Louisiana named Dallas.

Dallas:  See the message below from Dave, K4JRB, who  used to be K5MDX in 
MS before moving to Atlanta and who was the director  of the CQ 160M 
contests for years.  Is is correct that LCC isn't  interested?  One of 
the first things we did after SECC was founded  was to rejeuvenate the 
GQP in a way that we thought it should be run and  publicize it highly. 
it is a problem to find a director, who will be  responsible for scoring 
the contest though.  I did the GQP manually  for about 20 years from the 
middle 60s to the middle 80s.  Now, I  think it requires a bit more 
computer ability than I have to do it  correctly.  Do you have any 
suggestions about LQP that I could pass  along to Dave?

Got home from Fred's after NAQP SSB yesterday in time  for 11 AM church 
and saw your family there, of course.  We saw your  call spotted once, 
but the skip was too long.  M/2 stations can use  spots, of course, but 
our internet link didn't work all the time and we  found the spots to be 
of little use.  I guess if we had seen a bunch  of spots on 10M, we could 
have gone there for more than the 10 minutes we  were there.  There is a 
10 minute rule for M/2 stations. We had one  run on 10M with 8 QSOs and 
one mult (GA). Worked a few GA stations and the  rest were from South 
America.

73, John.

John,

I just got a message from Ray, W5EW  in LA.  The current sponsor of the LAQP
AD5YP is quitting.   Mickey asked Ray (ADir) to find a sponsor and no club
wants it and the LA  Contest Club and the Bayou Cane CC want nothing to so
with the  party.

Guess this is one QSO Party biting the dust.

I remember  the QSO Pary starting in about 1966 run by two different clubs
then by  YL/OM team W5NQQ/W5NQR.  This may be one that needs to merge. 
But  I
recall there was a Delta QSO Party for a couple of years and Malcolm  W5XX
ran that.

Any ideas?

73 Dave  K4JRB
