FLSPOTA

[Matthew Stevens]

If you were at the club meeting last night, then you already know that we
have announced the Florida State Parks on the Air contest, to take place
next April! Thanks to Kevin N4KWR, Rich N4ESS, and Mike KK4UGD for all
their help in making this event a reality.

We'll be using a QSO party format, but with State Parks instead of
counties. There's also a Worked/Activated all Parks Awards program (which
can be earned all year long, not just on the contest date). This event is
intended to bring awareness to Florida's award winning state parks system,
while also encouraging amateur radio operators to get out and make some
contacts in the great outdoors.

Check out http://flspota.org for more details! More info will be posted on
the site in upcoming weeks, including N1MM contest files, and a Worked all
Parks logsheet. You can check http://flspota.org/news/, and also register
with our Yahoo group at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/flspota/info
for the latest updates. A big thanks to Paul EI5DI who has already
contacted me about adding support for the contest to the SD logging
program. Hopefully some of the other logging software guys will follow his
lead.

There's a subscription link on the right hand sidebar of flspota.org so you
can get the latest news that we'll post on the site.

Hope this will inspire some of you to get out there and ​enjoy our State
Parks, while having some fun operating portable at the same time!
