The Florida QSO Party (FQP[1]) takes place April 25 - 26, in two 10-hour operating periods - Saturday, 1600 -0159 UTC, and Sunday, 1200 - 2159 UTC. Several changes have been put in place, due to Florida's stay-at-home mandate.
One major change: Mobile and Expedition categories have been suspended.
Also, club competition has been revised, and multioperator participants may be distributed within a Florida county (or within a state/province/or country for non-Florida entries). In the FQP, everyone works Florida, while Florida works everyone. The object is to work all Florida counties. Exchange report and Florida county or report and state/province/country for non-Florida participants. Bands are 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters, CW, SSB, or both, QRP, low-power, and high-power categories.
To mark the FQP's 23rd anniversary, eight 1 x 1 special event station suffixes will spell "LOVEBUGS." Full information[2] is on the FQP website.
