And, as we have done for the last 4 years, the NJQRP Club will celebrate by issuing Skeeter numbers for the 5th Annual NJQRP Skeeter Hunt, which will take place this year on the third Sunday of August, 8/21. For 2016, the Skeeter Hunt is incorporating NPOTA, the ARRL's National Parks on the Air program. An additional 100 Bonus points will be added to your score if you activate one of the listed 481 National Park entities. https://npota.arrl.org NPOTA fits right in with the express purpose of the Skeeter Hunt, which is to get you and your QRP equipment out into the fresh air and sunshine (hopefully) in order to have one heckuva a great time! To register for a Skeeter number, simply send an e-mail to w2lj at arrl.net or w2ljqrp at gmail.com - please state your name, call and from which state or NPOTA entity yoiu will activate. If you want to activate an entity; and are not sure which one, you can always decide that later. But for the purposes of issung a Skeeter number, please list your state as a minimum, in your request. Please note that Skeeter numbers are issued on a first come, first served basis. Numbers will begin to be issued on Monday and a copy of the roster will be posted to Google sheets. The link will be posted Monday evening. The NPOTA program has been a huge success so far! QRPers are know for getting out into the field and operating portable. Let's see how many NPOTA entities we can "light up" on Sunday, August 21st! 72 de Larry W2LJ NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Manager From w2lj at verizon.net Mon Jun 20 20:38:37 2016 From: w2lj at verizon.net (Larry W2LJ) Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 20:38:37 -0400 Subject: [Fists] Skeeter Roster posted Message-ID: Happy 1st Day of Summer!
