Special QSL cards will be available, and there will be a special certificate for working K2AA/R in all Southern New Jersey counties! 


Where we will be operating: 




We are planning to be on two bands simultaneously – one station on 40 meters using a full-size ¼ wave 40 meter vertical antenna, and the other on 20 meters with a small tri-band yagi antenna. We may move, conditions depending, to other bands, but the NJ QSO Party rules only permit contacts on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meters .
