[FARC] Mid Atlantic QSO Party!

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Found this on eHam.  It isn't on mother's day this year!

ANNOUNCING THE FOURTH ANNUAL MID-ATLANTIC QSO PARTY

The fourth annual Mid-Atlantic QSO Party (MAQP) will run 
from Saturday May 12, 2007 at 1600 UTC until Sunday May 
13, 2007 at 0400 UTC. The MAQP is a an old-fashioned QSO 
Party focused on Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, 
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington DC, 
but we encourage participants from around the world. 
Activity will be on all non-WARC amateur HF bands from 160 
to 10 meters, plus the 6, 2, 1.25, and .7 meters bands, 
all modes.

This year’s event has been shortened to 12 hours after 
much comment from participants, and we have moved it away 
from Mother’s Day for the first time. We hope these 
changes encourage participation in the original spirit of 
a competitive challenge that anyone can enjoy. All 
stations are welcome – single, multi, clubs, mobile, QRP – 
as long as your power is limited to 200 watts.

The committee awards plaques and certificates for Top 
Score by category in each Mid-Atlantic state, and Top 
Score outside the region, Top Score DX, and Top Score VE, 
among others. Most popular contest logging software 
includes the MAQP. Visit the MAQP website at 
http://maqp.info for more details, rules, maps, submittal 
forms, etc. And please join our news reflector at

If you, your group, or club would like to sponsor a 
plaque, please contact us as soon as possible while there 
are still some opportunities!
