Silver 25th Anniversary Special Event Award-

2022 FQP Silver Spelling Bee!

In honor of the 25^th FQP Anniversary, we will have a total of *25 
special 1x1 stations, listed below*, with one suffix for each letter of 
the alphabet *except the letter X (FCC regulation)*. **There are a total 
of 21 SSB and 21 CW stations active; please see list of stations below.

The *FQP SILVER SPELLING BEE* is a 1x1 Sweep and endorsed for either 
Mixed or CW or SSB modes.

*/How to Play:/*

 1. *Mixed Mode Endorsement (Mixed, CW and SSB entrants are eligible):
    *Contact all 25 of the 1x1 stations to earn this endorsement. You
    will need to operate both modes to do this.

*Note*: If you are a *_single mode entry_* (CW or SSB) then please 
submit a separate checklog for the extra four 1x1’s on the other mode.

*/Example/*/: /K9CT is a CW-only entry and works the 21 CW/Mixed 
stations on CW, but also works the four SSB-only 1x1’s (N4D, N4H, N4L 
and N4V).  To earn the Mixed Mode Endorsement, Craig will submit both 
his normal CW entry *and* a SSB checklog that includes these 4 QSO’s.

Similarly, a SSB-only entry would work the 21 SSB/Mixed stations on SSB, 
plus the four CW-only (1x1’s (N4C, N4J, N4Q and N4Z) and submit the SSB 
log as usual plus a CW checklog that includes these 4 QSO’s.

 2. *CW or SSB Mode Endorsement (Mixed, CW and SSB entrants are eligible):**
    *Contact *all 21* of the 1x1 stations on a single mode to earn this
    endorsement.

a)CW entries who contact all 21 CW and Mixed 1x1’s _on CW_ earn the award.

b)SSB entries who contact all 21 SSB and Mixed entries _on SSB_ earn the 
award.

c)Mixed mode entries who contact _either_ the 21 CW _or_ the 21 SSB 
1x1’s earn the award.
*Note*:  If a Mixed entrant works all 25 1x1’s, they are awarded a Mixed 
Endorsement.

These stations should be very accessible. QSL these 1x1 calls active in 
FQP via KU9C direct or via LogBook of The World (LoTW).
