*** LQP (LOCUST QSO PARTY)***
50th Anniversary Edition

January 17, 2007, marks the 50th Anniversary of either the issue date of my original KN6VVA (Novice) FCC License, or the date it showed up in the mail (the date seems familiar).

To celebrate this landmark date in history (to me), and pay special tribute to my subsequent "DX Elmer" and good friend, Joe Reisert, W1JR (then W2HQL/6 in the 1960's, who nicknamed me "The Locust" - because I frequently cleaned out his refrigerator with my hefty teenage appetite for food), I am sponsoring the first (and probably only) "LOCUST QSO PARTY" (LQP). SEVEN one-year subscriptions to the NCJ (National Contest Journal have designated as various LQP Awards. The LQP will take place on January 17, 2007.
