50th ANNUAL NEW JERSEY QSO PARTY - AUGUST 15 - 16, 2009
******************************************************************************************
The Englewood Amateur Radio Association, Inc. invites all amateurs the world
over to
take part in the 50th Annual New Jersey QSO Party.

RULES:
[1] The time of the contest is from 2000 UTC Saturday August 15 to 0700 UTC
Sunday August 16 and from 1300 UTC Sunday August 16 to 0200 UTC Monday
August 17.
[2] Phone and CW are considered the same contest. A station may be contacted
once on each band - phone and CW are considered separate bands - CW contacts
may
not be made in phone band segments. New Jersey stations may work other New
Jersey
stations.
[3] General call is "CQ New Jersey" or "CQ NJ". New Jersey stations are
requested to identify themselves by signing "DE NJ" on CW and "New Jersey
calling" on
phone. Suggested frequencies are 1810, 3535, 3950, 7035, 7235, 14035, 14285,
21100,
21355, 28100, 28400, 50-50.5, and 144-146. Suggest phone activity on the
even hours;
15/10 meters on the odd hours [1500 to 2100 UTC]; 160 meters at 0500 UTC.
[4] Exchange consists of QSO Number, and QTH [State/province or country].
New Jersey
stations will send county for their QTH.
[5] Scoring: Out-of-state stations multiply number of complete contacts with
New Jersey
stations times 3 points per QSO times the number of New Jersey counties
worked
[maximum of 21]. New Jersey stations multiply number of complete contacts
times 3 points
per QSO times the multiplier. The multiplier is the sum of the number of
states [other than NJ],
Canadian provinces, and NJ counties worked - maximum is 49 + 13 + 21 = 83.
[6] Certificates will be awarded to the first place station in each New
Jersey county, state,
province, and country. In addition, a second place certificate will be
awarded when four
or more logs are received. A total of two plaques have been donated by the
ARRL Section
Managers for NNJ and SNJ to the highest scoring single-operator station
residing in each
of their sections.
[7] Logs must also show the UTC date and time, QSO exchange, band, and
emission,
and be received no later than September 14, 2009. The first contact for each
claimed
multiplier must be indicated and numbered and a check list of contacts and
multipliers
should be included.
Multi-operator stations should be noted and calls of participating operators
listed. Logs
and comments should be sent to: Englewood Amateur Radio Association, Inc.,
Post
Office Box 528, Englewood, New Jersey 07631-0528. A #10 size SASE should be
included for results.
[8] Stations planning active participation in New Jersey are requested to
advise EARA

all counties.
