[BARC-List] New England QSO Party

[Blake T. Haskell]

The 2006 New England QSO Party is coming up in a few weeks - May 6th and
7th.    We'd appreciate it if you would pass along a reminder to club
members that the NEQP is a lot of fun and encourage them to get on and make
some QSOs!   Last year we had hundreds of participants and 300 sent in logs.
Full information is on the NEQP web site -->  http://www.neqp.org/

Basic NEQP rules information: 
Object: NE stations make QSOs with anyone; non-New England stations work
stations in New England


Times: May 6/7 - Saturday from 4pm until 1am Sunday, and again from 9am
until 8pm on Sunday (20 hours)


Bands: 80-40-20-15-10 meters - activity concentrated near 3875 7280 14280
21380 28380 on SSB and 3540 7035 14040 21040 28040 on CW


Exchange:  New England stations give signal report and county/state; others
give signal report and state/province/country


Categories:  QRP, low power, high power, multi-operator, mobile


Scoring for New England stations: One QSO point per SSB QSO; two points for
CW/digital QSOs, multiple total QSO points by the number of states, Canadian
provinces and DXCC countries worked.


Logs: send to logs at neqp.org or to NEQP, P O Box 3005, Framingham MA 01701


Full rules - see the NEQP web site --> http://www.neqp.org/rules.html


Certificates will be sent to anyone making 25 QSOs or more, plus there are
30 plaques available to top scorers. 
Thanks in advance for helping is to spread the word!
