<DIV>The 10 day forecast on <A title=http://weather.com/
href="http://weather.com/">weather.com</A> shows sunny and mid 70's for the
21st and 22nd. If this holds, it will be great driving weather for all
the mobiles, and maybe low QRN.</DIV>

<DIV>Unfortunately the weather can be too good, if everyone decides to go
outside and play golf or do yard work. Perhaps not such a problem after lots of
warm summer weather, but it is noticeable for the Michigan QSO Party in
April.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Conversely, I think the all time records for the Florida QSO Party were the
year about 4 or 5 ago, when it was snowing like crazy, at least here in
Cleveland. I'd operate for a while, snow blow the driveway for a
while, then go back to operating, and so on. The weather elsewhere in the
northeast was at least cold, so no outdoor distractions from working that
FQP.</DIV>
