SECOND ANNUAL MID ATLANTIC QSO PARTY

The second annual Mid-Atlantic QSO Party(MAQP) is an old-fashioned QSO 
Party focusing on Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, 
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. It runs from Saturday May 
14th 2004 at 1600 UTC until 2400 UTC Sunday May 15th 2004 with a break 
from 0400 – 1100 UTC Sunday. Activity will be on all HF bands from 160 
to 10 meters (except WARC bands) and 50, 144, 222, and 440 MHz.

The MAQPseeks to provide a competitive challenge with a low-pressure 
atmosphere. In short, the purpose is to have fun, enjoy the event, and 
find your own desired level of participation.

The committee will offer certificates and/or plaques, including 
categories such as Top Scorer in each Mid-Atlantic state, the entire 
Mid-Atlantic region, each DX country, state, or VE province from which 
an entry is received, and more. All stations are welcome - fixed, 
mobile, rover, single or multi-operator, clubs, QRP or standard power.

Popular contest logging software modules for the MAQPare already 
available, and more are coming. Information will be published on our 
website as available.

Please visit the MAQPwebsite at http://www.qsl.net/maqso for full 
details, rules, maps, and all forms, available for downloading.

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