The KQX Group is has been named the Bonus Station for the 2009 PA QSO
Party.  We will run an "old school" Multi-Multi from Wyoming County (WYO)
using the call sign N3KAE.  Our group has submitted the highest scores for
the past two PQP's (2008 and 2007).  We intend to give plenty of
opportunities for you to add bonus points to your score this year.

Our focus will be HF CW and SSB 160m to 20m due to the lack of solar
activity.
We will be on 15m and 10m CW and SSB for, at least, both high-band activity
periods.  We hope to devote more time on these band-modes.

RTTY and PSK is planned for 80m-20m.
20m RTTY/PSK 1800z-1959z Saturday and Sunday (14.090 -/+ RTTY).
80m RTTY/PSK 2300z-2359z Saturday ONLY (3.590 -/+ RTTY).
40m RTTY/PSK 2000z-2059z Sunday ONLY (7.090 -/+ RTTY).
PSK will utilize the standard band frequencies.
RTTY starts the top of each hour and PSK follows at the bottom of each hour.

6m SSB/CW and 2m FM stations will run throughout the contest.
We will CQ and monitor 50.135 SSB and change to CW on that frequency.
The 2m station will CQ and monitor 146.55 FM.

N3KAE is proud to announce the addition of another operator to the Group.
Alex Zelna, KB3TJW recently passed his Tech exam on 9-9-09 and turned 13
three days later.  He already received his ticket in the mail and is ready
to go.
