<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I agree this is a great idea<br>
Unfortunately I need to work (photography) this week-end so I will miss the QSO
party<br>
<br>
I have a couple of other things..........<br>
<br>
I have been approached by Micky Cox K5MC to manage a new QSO party<br>
I want to know if someone else is better prepared to step up to the plate on
this<br>
possible task ??? "Delta Division QSO Party Contest Manager"<br>
<br>
and what is your thoughts on when it should be held and how to mold the rules,
modes of the contest etc... My thoughts are do it sim to the ARRL ten
meter contest as in the <br>
op may op cw and phone or single mode in the same contest<br>
<br>
there are a lot of other thoughts, like what week-end and maybe even a weekday
sprint format<br>
<br>
While looking for feedback esp from LCC I was going to post these thoughts on
the LCC reflector, but it seems down ??????????<br>

Subject: [LCC] LA QSO Party<br>
<br>
Mark K5ER and I were talking yesterday about LQP this weekend. It seems
to<br>
us that the LCC should be heard in this one, since it is our home state qso<br>
party. If no one objects, one of us (probably Mark) will operate under
our<br>
club call, N5LCC.<br>
<br>
Thoughts or comments?<br>
