There has been a tremendous amount of positive soapbox comments received from the COQP participants.

It was a fun contest – We look forward to next year.
Seemed very good, especially CW.
Thanks for hosting the COQP.
This was a great contest. Hope it’s this good next year.
This was one of the best.

The judging team recomputed all scores due to a late change making each Colorado county a multiplier for in-state operators. One of our main goals for next year is to improve the quality of received logs, both electronic and manual. The 2008 COQP will be held on September 20 th, 2008. Many more details to come. Check the website periodically for revised rules and more information.

Again, my thanks to everyone for their participation and support. Special thanks go to Dave Sloan, N0EOP for his tireless behind the scenes work, Doug Nielsen, N7LEM webmaster, the PPRAA and especially it’s board. And lastly thanks go to Jeff Ryan, ARRL Colorado Section Manager and the ARRL for their support and advice. Without all these people’s support the 2007 COQP would not have happened.

Jim Harris, AB0UK
