The Minnesota QSO Party is next Saturday, Feb 7th, running from 1400 through 2359 UTC (8 AM through 5:59 PM CST).   You can work stations once per band & mode.  MN mobiles and rovers may be worked once per band & mode from each county.  The contest exchange is simple; Minnesota stations give their first name and their Minnesota county, for example "Jon in Hennepin" while non-Minnesota stations send back to you their first name and their state/province or DX.

Full rules and information can be found at https://www.w0aa.org/mn-qso-party/

Note that Minnesota stations run 100 watts or less, thus allowing for lots of room to call CQ, 10 through 160m, CW and Phone.  Yes, there is no FT8 as FT8 does not support the contest exchange format.  

If the weather is "good", I plan to operate as a Rover from seven counties on PH and CW, 80m through 15m.  Sorry, no 75m.
