<DIV>LCC,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As with forward emails you have to read from the bottom up to understand
the flow of thought. Here too. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your thoughts ???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dallas k1DW yes, there is a one
in Louisiana named Dallas. </DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>Dallas: See the message below from Dave, K4JRB, who
used to be K5MDX in <BR>MS before moving to Atlanta and who was the director
of the CQ 160M <BR>contests for years. Is is correct that LCC isn't
interested? One of <BR>the first things we did after SECC was founded
was to rejeuvenate the <BR>GQP in a way that we thought it should be run and
publicize it highly. <BR>it is a problem to find a director, who will be
responsible for scoring <BR>the contest though. I did the GQP manually
for about 20 years from the <BR>middle 60s to the middle 80s. Now, I
think it requires a bit more <BR>computer ability than I have to do it
correctly. Do you have any <BR>suggestions about LQP that I could pass
along to Dave?<BR><BR>Got home from Fred's after NAQP SSB yesterday in time
for 11 AM church <BR>and saw your family there, of course. We saw your
call spotted once, <BR>but the skip was too long. M/2 stations can use
spots, of course, but <BR>our internet link didn't work all the time and we
found the spots to be <BR>of little use. I guess if we had seen a bunch
of spots on 10M, we could <BR>have gone there for more than the 10 minutes we
were there. There is a <BR>10 minute rule for M/2 stations. We had one
run on 10M with 8 QSOs and <BR>one mult (GA). Worked a few GA stations and the
rest were from South <BR>America.<BR><BR>73, John.<BR><BR>-------- Original

<k4bai@att.net><BR><BR>John,<BR><BR>I just got a message from Ray, W5EW
in LA. The current sponsor of the LAQP<BR>AD5YP is quitting.
Mickey asked Ray (ADir) to find a sponsor and no club<BR>wants it and the LA
Contest Club and the Bayou Cane CC want nothing to so<BR>with the
party.<BR><BR>Guess this is one QSO Party biting the dust.<BR><BR>I remember
the QSO Pary starting in about 1966 run by two different clubs<BR>then by
YL/OM team W5NQQ/W5NQR. This may be one that needs to merge. <BR>But
I<BR>recall there was a Delta QSO Party for a couple of years and Malcolm
W5XX<BR>ran that.<BR><BR>Any ideas?<BR><BR>73 Dave
