Florida QSO Party Sponsored by the Florida Contest Group

The Florida QSO Party is sponsored by the Florida Contest Group. Since it’s re-introduction to the contest scene in 1998, the Florida QSO Party has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular State QSO Parties around today. This is due, in part, to the tremendous effort by the mobile teams to activate as many counties as they can in order to allow those participating from out-of-state to achieve a county “Sweep” (working all 67 Florida Counties). Florida stations operating from home are also valuable, since that increases the chances that stations will work all counties! Regardless if you are a serious or casual participant from Florida or from outside of Florida, the Florida QSO Party was designed to be a FUN operating event. Why not give it a try?

Note: The 2025 Florida QSO Party log submission deadline has passed. Thanks to everyone who participated.

The FQP was terrific in 2025, with many citing personal bests, storms and love bugs staying away, and terrific activity! The PIRATES 1×1 theme was quite popular with two stations per letter and 665 sweeps (before log checking adds a few net as busted calls outweigh NILs). 10 & 15 meters were open most hours, yet 20 meters still provided the lion’s share of the contacts. Logs were received from YB and VU, among many others. Thanks to everyone’s contribution!
