Special 1x1 Call Signs
on-the-air during GQP
To encourage participation in the 51st annual Georgia QSO Party, the North Fulton Amateur Radio League operated a group of special 1x1 special event call signs during the GA QSO Party on April 14 and 15, 2012.
These call signs comprise a series that spells NFARL in the suffix:
K4N, K4F, K4A, K4R, and K4L
They were used by active contesters from the club in order to maximize the opportunity for contacts with these stations.
For those contest participants both inside and outside Georgia who logged all five special event call signs during the contest, the club is offering a special certificate commemorating the achievement. Just extract the records for the 5 contacts from your log, paste them in to an e-mail, and send it to: gqp2012@nfarl.org before May 15, 2012. There is no charge for this certificate.
You should also submit your entire log in Cabrillo format to the Georgia QSO Party at logs@georgiaqsoparty.org.
