[CVRC] Nevada QSO Party-Silver State Series

[Dick Flanagan]

The Frontier Amateur Radio Society (FARS) is pleased to present the 
2011 Nevada QSO Party.

The Nevada QSO Party was founded by FARS.  However, for the past few 
years it has been administered by a couple of different groups and 
most recently has become known as the Nevada Mustang Round-Up. The 
administration of the NQP has recently been passed back to FARS.

We are pleased to announce the creation of the "Silver State Series" 
a collection of three contests associated with our state.

Nevada is proud to be a part of the 7th Call Area and a participating 
state in the 7th Area QSO Party, the first event in the series.  We 
urge all Nevada hams to get on the air May 7-8 and support the 7QP.

The second event in the series is our own state QSO party the Nevada 
Mustang Round-Up. It takes off for 24 hours the following weekend on 
May 14th.

The Silver State Series is rounded out on September 10th with the 
first running of the new "Nevada High Noon Shootout".  The Shootout 
is a fast paced "sprint" type of event.

Full details of all the events are located at the new Nevada QSO 
Party website 
<http://www.nvqsoparty.info>http://www.nvqsoparty.info  please let 
your members know of this site.

High quality plaques will be awarded to the winners in each 
category.  Equally high quality certificates will be sent to the high 
score in each state, providence, and DXCC entity.

FARS invites your radio club to join in the planning, promotion, and 
co-sponsorship of the Nevada QSO Party events.

We are looking forward to hearing you on the air next month.
