[PaQSO] Arizona QSO Party -- Oct 10-11

[KE7DX]

As many of you know, the inaugural running of the Arizona QSO Party will be held
this weekend, on the same dates as the Pennsylvania QSO Party.  I encourage you
to check out the rules for BOTH and operate in BOTH QSO parties.  It is a lot of
fun, not to mention educational, and a challenge, to operate in multiple contests
at the same time!  I will be doing so, and look forward to working a lot of PA
operators!  I have copied the announcement from the AZQP website for your
information:
