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

[Al Zelna]

Gary,

N3KAE is the Bonus Station for this year's PQP.  As such, we intend to be
extremely active on 20m running SSB, CW, RTTY, and PSK.  15m and 10m will
probably be limited to SSB and CW for at least the High-Band periods listed
in the PQP rules. However, we normally get there early and stay later.  We
will, more than likely, sit on a given frequency and call CQ.

We are certainly not alone with High-Band work.  Your participants need to
be made aware of the sheer number of PA Stations that will be there too.
Our group is fully aware of your contest.  We intend to discuss
"working-back" at our final team meeting.  It will be a bit of a challenge,
but we look forward to putting PA in your participants logs and giving them
200 Bonus Points for every one of our (EPA-modes) as well.
