[PaQSO] Ohio QSO Party

[John's Travel and Cruises]

The Ohio QSO party is Saturday from Noon to Midnight.  Please
get on and make some contacts as the Ohio guys are big
supporters of the PA party in October.

They are awarding additional plaques and free Hamvention tickets
this year.  They now have plaques for:

Top Out of State Single Op  -  High, Low, and QRP Power
Top YL - Out of State
Top YL - In Ohio

As well as the previous plaques for top Ohio in:

Single Op - High, Low, and QRP Power
Multi-Operator  (Multi-Multi)
Mobile
Club

PLUS  -  STOP THE PRESSES  -  NEW AWARDS!!!

In honor of Ohio's 200th birthday, they will be giving a 2004 Hamvention
ticket
to five out of state OQP entrants drawn from a pool of those who make at
least 200 valid QSOs in the 2003 OQP.  For reference, last year there were
exactly
five who beat that number!  And all five were in the low power category!

Not wanting to limit the fun to serious participants,  they are also
awarding a
Hamvention ticket to another five entrants drawn from a pool of those making
at least 88 valid QSOs.  Why 88?  In honor of the 88 counties in Ohio.
Those
88 QSOs do not have to be in all 88 counties - just 88 valid QSOs.  And Ohio
stations with 88 valid QSOs will be eligible for this drawing.
