[LCC] LaQP website / rules now online

[Mark Ketchell]

         Hope everyone is having a good holiday season. We gave a 
presentation of the proposed LaQP rules at the last LCC meeting and 
after many more emails and re-writes that expected, we are happy to 
announce the Louisiana Qso Party (LaQP) rules for 2014 are now complete.

         We also have a brand new web site specifically for the 
event, laqp.org. We still have a few additions coming, but we invite 
everyone to take a look.

         We have contacted a few of the more popular logging software 
authors. We will soon be posting the info on cq-contest, letting the 
world know the date and rules, and asking all the other logger 
authors to review our rules and insure that their packages operate 
and score correctly, including the new bonus station, N5LCC.

         Although many active contesters participate in state QP's, 
many of those active will be county hunters and non-contesters. While 
you should "run" as much as possible, to give out more LA contacts, 
be prepared to slow down to walk some through their very first 
Louisiana contact. We encourage ALL Louisiana stations to get on and 
operate as much as possible, especially those in the "rarer" parishes.

         In order to encourage more participation, we added several 
categories and now have 81 certificates available to be won! We hope 
you will take a look at the new LaQP web site, review the rules, and 
plan to be on the air on March 22. Remember to have fun.

"laissez les Contests roulez!" (Let the Contests roll!)

Merry Christmas!

For the LaQP contest committee,
Mark, K5ER
