We finally worked out the details for the New England QSO Party a couple of
weeks ago. It will take place on May 4th (4-11pm ET) and 5th (7am-8pm
ET). The start time is a few hours after the Hosstraders fleamarket
ends. Hope you can all join in - there are YCCC members in about half of
the 67 New England counties.
The complete rules, plus maps of New England counties and other related
things, are all on the website at http://www.neqp.org/
The groups that have gotten together to make this happen are:
Candlewood ARA (CT)
Framingham ARA (MA)
NH-ARRL (NH)
CTRI Contest Group (RI)
Central Vermont ARC (VT)
and several YCCCers!
It looks like we successfully got the word out in time to publications and
on-line contest calendars, and we think that most (all?) major contest
software vendors will support the NEQP.
Our next job is to find sponsors for the 15+ plaques we'd like to offer,
and then to work to get all 67 New England counties active. We'd like to
get 10-12 people active as mobiles to help cover the rare counties and
provide some extra excitement during the contest. If you're interested in
helping with either one of those - please contact either of us!
