Our small group operating under WQ3N has gone portable to rare counties for several years now and operated multi op single radio. Last year and now this coming year Multi Multi and Multi Singles have been placed into the same category. Our only choice if we want to be competitive in this category is go multi multi which is not an easy task with so few operators able to go portable in our small group. Just wondering why multi single was dropped from the entry categories?

Can you handle the truth? Maybe you should sit down. We have not received any applications for bonus stations. None. Zilch. Nada. QRU BK. They're due Sunday at midnight Eastern. Maybe you've been putting it off. Perhaps you've said "next year". Maybe you've been waiting to enjoy a few 807s with your buddies before discussing assembling a bonus station team. If you're thinking about it, just get your application in. We're not going to lower the requirements and standards, however if you submit an application you may not have any competing applicants. That may not be the case next year, or the year after. 73 Goody K3NG From aa3b.bud at gmail.com Sun Jul 21 20:11:24 2019 From: aa3b.bud at gmail.com (Bud Trench) Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2019 20:11:24 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Reminder on the retirement of the Pa QSO Party Reflector Message-ID: <000e01d54022$00241c90$006c55b0$@gmail.com> As announced previously, the Pa QSO Party Association has decided to migrate this email reflector to PaQSOParty at groups.io .
