The 2012 NYQP kicks off on Saturday, October 20 at 10:00 AM local time for
twelve hours.

This year we are instituting a special Award for working 1x1 Stations that
will spell out NY QSO PARTY - There are 24 Stations that have 1x1 call signs
reserved especially for the NYQP so go and try and work them all, if you are
the first station to work all 24 of the stations, you will receive a special
Plaque.
If you work any combination of the 1x1's that spell out "NY QSO PARTY", you
will receive a special certificate.

There are certificates and 50 plaques sponsored for participants, this year
you only need to contact 25 stations to be eligible for any award, and only
one plaque will be awarded per station, this gives others a chance at
winning an award. 

We also have added 2 new "Youth "and one new "YL" Class, so take a look at
the rules on: http://www.nyqp.org/rules.php

** Hurricane & Superstorm Sandy **

Looking at the US Weather Service maps, it appears that all of the sections
within the Atlantic Division have been touched in some way by this storm.?
Please stay safe and don?t take any unnecessary risks.
Due to the devastation and power outages throughout the North East resulting
from ?Superstorm Sandy? the NYQP Organizing committee has decided to extend
to deadline for log submissions for the New York QSO Party an additional 10
days. Therefore the log submission date will be November 15th at 0000Z.
The logs have been coming it at a record pace, and we hope to have it
continue.
Again, please stay safe and do not take any unnecessary risks.

Thanks and we look forward to your participation in the 2013 New York QSO
Party; 1400Z, Oct 19 to 0200Z, Oct 20, 2013
