>The Pennsylvania QSO Party, one of the most popular state QSO parties, 
>will be held this weekend October 9 & 10, 2004.  If you are a station in 
>Pennsylvania the whole country will be trying to work you.  If you are 
>outside the state test your skill at trying to contact the PA stations and 
>see if you are able to get a clean sweep by working all 67 
>counties.  There is a plaque available for the accomplishment.  There are 
>also many other certificates and plaques for the many categories including 
>a first time entrant category.
>
>Complete rules and information can be had at

>There are also links to download free PAQP logging software.

>Native Pennsylvanian, Dan Miller, K3UFG will be operating the contest from 
>W1AW.  He will be looking for those Pennsylvania counties.
>
>Yours truly, another native Pennsylvanian, could not coordinate my trip 
>back to PA for this event so I will be QRV from CT.

>W1AW
>Again this year W1AW will be hosting local scouts on Saturday October 16th 
>for JOTA.  The focus this year will be "merit badge in a day."  Mark 
>Spencer, WA8SME, will be hosting the event.  He will be using a Texas 
>developed syllabus that will lead to the scouts achieving the radio merit 
>badge during their participation in JOTA at the station.  There will be 
>two settings for the training, 8 to 12 and 12 to 4.  So far there are 
>about 20 scouts signed up to participate in the program.
>
>Anyone is welcome to stop by to participate in JOTA.

>Special Event Station N1S Announced
>
>The New Hampshire Section of the ARRL, the New Hampshire Amateur Radio 
>Service Club (WB1BSA) and the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum proudly 
>announce the FCC has granted the callsign N1S to the Max I. Silber 
>Memorial Station that will be operating for the 47th Jamboree-On-The-Air 
>on Saturday, October 16th 2004.
>
>Max I. Silber, known as "Uncle Max" to Scouters worldwide, was devoted to 
>Scouting and youth. Because of that dedication, he was presented with 
>every honor for service to youth, religion and community. In Scouting, he 
>received the Silver Beaver, the Silver Antelope for service at the 
>regional level, and the Silver Buffalo for exceptional service at the 
>national level. For many, many years Max Silber was a presence at Eagle 
>courts of honor across New Hampshire. The Daniel Webster Council's 
>National Eagle Scout Association Chapter is named in honor of Max.
>
>N1S will be operating primarily on 20m and 40m in both phone and SSTV 
>modes from 10am-6pm eastern time. As with the mission of Jambroee On The 
>Air, we will be encouraging Scouts and their Leaders to try their hand at 
>Amateur Radio in many cases for the first time. It has, as always, been 
>our goal to share our love for amateur radio as well as to encourage new 
>folks to learn about what we do and potentially become hams themselves. In 
>addition to the on-air activity, we will also be offering Radio Merit 
>Badge Classes and activities for Cub Scouts that will work towards their 
>various communications awards.

>configuration.

A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
