[LCC] 2020 LAQP

Tue Sep 24 15:36:21 CDT 2019

Hi guys,

Back with info on a possible date for a chance at more activity. My
suggestion was to  move to the same date as some other state QSO Parties to
enhance the opportunity for out of state participants to have numerous
stations to work.

Why not go to the same weekend as the Indiana, 7-land QP, Delaware and
Indiana parties? In 2020 it's May 2. Even N1MM+ has developed a program
that will allow out of staters use one log for all contests. They would
most likely modify it to add LA to it.

Yes, we still need more participation from LA. But without the 2 major
contest conflicts, that might free up a handful of others. Then
we (and yes I would volunteer to help) need to get others to play. But my
belief is plenty of out of state hams just like to get on and make
contacts. This weekend the band would be full of those opportunities.

Any constructive thoughts on this?

73,

Art KZ5D
