[QCWA] QCWA QSO PARTY SATURDAY MARCH 10 2018

[Vic Culver]

Greetings QCWA Family Members.  This Saturday -- Sunday QCWA will hold 
it's Annual QCWA QSO PARTY.  This is a fun and friendly chance to 
agitate some electrons and surprise fellow QCWA Family members (or 
anyone choosing to participate in this event) with your own personal 
greetings in an International QCWA Event!

Full details are provided at <http://www.qcwa.org/qso-party.htm>.  Read 
the entire RULES page to get the full operating plan.  Jump in on, or 
near, the suggested frequencies and either respond to those calling "CQ 
QCWA" or begin calling "CQ QCWA" yourself.  Please note that two logging 
programs are suggested for computer logging and you can choose whichever 
of those programs you feel comfortable with;  or you can print out the 
Log Sheet and do some good old fashioned PAPER LOGGING!  Remember that? 
Fill in all the blanks on the sheet as described in the Rules.

I've already loaded up N1MM+ and tested it out with some dummy contacts. 
  It works like a dream (if you're familiar with it) and does ALL the 
work for you, keeping score and letting you print out a Cabrillo File to 
send to Bob BUUS, W2OD.  You may submit your log in whatever form you 
choose, Cabrillo, or an old reliable Paper Log.

It's easy, it's fun, and it's a perfect way to exercise your Amateur 
Radio heritage in support of QCWA.  Do a little, or do a lot, but 
please, DO SOMETHING.

President Oelke and I will be looking for YOU.  Please look for us.

47 & 73,  Vic, W4VIC, QCWA Chapter 119
