[Elecraft] EQP (Elecraft QSO Party) March 11th -- New and Improved!

[wayne burdick]

Well-known contester Bob Patten, N4BP, offered to help us improve the 
EQP rules this year. We think he did a great job, making EQP more 
similar to other contests and more compatible with logging software.

The new exchange includes SPC (state/province/county), which will make 
things more interesting, especially for those collecting states toward 
an Elecraft Worked-All-States award. The number of SPCs is used as a 
multiplier, too.

The exchange also now has rig type and serial number encoded as a 
single number, for those using Elecraft gear (others use power level). 
The first digit indicates rig type (K2=2, K1=1, KX1=0), followed 
immediately by serial number. For example, if I were using K2 S/N of 
3000 (which I probably will :)  I'd send 23000.

There are several other important changes related to QSO points and 
scoring. Please review the complete rules at:

Please post any questions to the list. Please DO NOT call or e-mail 
Elecraft directly with EQP questions.

See you on March 11th --

73,
Wayne
