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!
