From georgiaqsoparty.org:

OBJECTIVEFor radio amateurs OUTSIDE of the state of Georgia to make contacts with as many Phone and/or CW Georgia stations in as many of the 159 Georgia counties as possible. Amateurs INSIDE the state of Georgia can make contacts with everyone.

CONTEST PERIODThe Georgia QSO Party is held annually the second full weekend of April. There are two operating periods: 1800Z (2:00 pm EDST) Saturday until 0359Z (11:59 pm EDST) and Sunday and 1400Z (10:00 am EDST) to 2359Z. (7:59 pm EDST)

FREQUENCIESHere are the suggested frequencies where GQP activity will take place:

SSB: 1.865, 3.810, 7.190, 14.250, 21.300, 28.450, 50.135.CW: 1.815, 3.545, 7.045, 14.045, 21.045, 28.045, 50.095.Look for SSB activity on the hour and CW on the half hour.

CATEGORIESSO Single Operator (SO) - One person performs all operating and logging functions. A Single Operator can be Mixed, SSB Only or CW Only.Multi Operator - Single Transmitter (MS) - More than one person performs all operating and logging functions. Only one transmitter operating at any given time.ROVER - Single Operator (RS) - A single Georgia mobile station with one operator that operates from at least two (2) different Georgia counties and making at least one (1) contact from each county. It's suggested that a Single Operator ROVER should not drive when operating. Note that Georgia has enacted a distracted drivers law in 2018. While operating an amateur radio transceiver would be allowed under the law using a computer while doing this probably isn't allowed. If you decide to drive/operate at the same time we urge that you record the contest and transcribe it to a log later.ROVER Multi Operator - (RM) - A single Georgia mobile station with more than one operator that operates from at least two (2) different Georgia counties and making at least one (1) contact from each county. Rovers with multiple operators and/or multiple simultaneously operated stations in the vehicle use the (RM) category.A ROVER station may have a non contest operating driver, for safety, and remain in the Single Operator category. If the Rover driver operates at any time in the contest, that Rover is in the Multi Operator category and enters as (RM).

ROVER stations must move the entire operating site at least 100 yards into the new county. Operating from a county line isn't allowed.

It's suggested the ROVER stations send their callsign followed by a "/" and the Georgia county abbreviation. For example KU8E/HARR if I'm operating as a rover from Harris county.

A specific callsign can only be used at ONE FIXED location.

NOTE: ASSISTED OPERATION IS ALLOWED - Nets , RBN and spotting clusters are allowed for all categories. Self-spotting is also allowed. You don't need to submit your log as ASSISTED. Submit it as SINGLE-OP
