Tennessee QSO Party

From: "Greg Tomerlin - K4KO" To: "tcg" Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 14:05:25 -0500 Subject: [TCG] TN QSO Party web site Hi all, It's a little early to be talking about the 2007 Tennessee QSO Party, but I felt the same way last year, then I let the thing slip up on me this year. I'm not going to do that again. So, next time you have a few minutes to kill, point your browser to www.tnqp.com and look around. There's not a lot there, but it's a start. Feel free to test the "Sign Up" form for registering your county for TNQP 2007. At some point I'll start gathering the submitted info and put it on the site, but until then, click away. I have broken the Sign Up form several times trying to get it like I want it, but I think I have finally stomped all the bugs out of it. If you encounter an error, please drop me an email with a brief description of the problem. Eventually, probably next year but maybe sooner, I plan to add a map highlighting the counties and stations as they register. I might also add a map showing counties activated this year (maybe past years too) so at a glance we'll have an idea of where the big holes are. Maybe these things will help us recruit some operators in the rare counties or encourage portable ops to go to those rare spots. The rovers might find some of the information useful when planning their routes too. Among other things, there will be a list of relevant links (N1MM, Writelog, TR-Log, etc.), files for download and use in TNQP, maybe a map for folks to color in who hope to Work All Tennessee (if that project ever gets off the ground). A few other suggestions have been made too and will probably appear on the site in the coming months. Hopefully this site will prove useful in planning for and operating in TNQP 2007. In the meantime, send me your suggestions for the site. And if you run across a mistake or a broken link, I would appreciate a note. Thanks. 73 Greg K4KO =================================== Tennessee QSO Party 1800z - 09 September 2007 http://www.tnqp.com ===================================
