Please send this email out on your mailing list.



The 2016 Missouri QSO Party Contest will be held THIS WEEKEND from April 2
from 9 am - 11 pm and April 3 from 9 am - 3 pm.



This is a great contest to participate in because everyone is looking for
YOU.  You can operate CW, SSB, and digital modes on all the HF contest
bands (160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m) as well as 2m, 220, and 440
simplex.  VHF/UHF calling frequencies are 146.55, 223.15, and 446.55.



There is a SHOWME certificate available for anyone who works enough 1x1
special event stations with suffixes to spell SHOWME. For example you could
work N0S, K0H, K0O, N0W, K0W, N0E and receive a certificate.  Also, the
W0MA station counts as a wildcard to fill in one letter if you end up
missing one.



The exchange is a simple 59(9) and your county abbreviation (check here to
find yours: http://w0ma.org/oldwebsite/mo_qso_party/Rules/MO%20Counties.PDF)

Boone.
