[SMCARA] Maryland QSO Party - Aug 10 & 11

[Tom Shelton]

The Maryland QSO Party is coming soon...

The club station – N3NHK - will be on the air participating in this contest.

I propose that we do a multi-op, multi-transmitter operation.  The existing station on Voice, another station on CW, and a third on Digital.  I’ll provide the CW station, so we still need someone to provide the digital station.
This will also be a great chance to show off amateur radio to the public, so we might want to get the info out there.  I’ll put together a poster and put out some suggested wording in a separate e-mail.

Here are the rules: http://mdcqsoparty.w3vpr.org/Documents/MarylandQSOPartyRules2013.pdf

The high points – Club stations are worth 10 points makes us one of the most valuable contacts.  As one of only 25 multipliers, we are going be valuable there as well.  People will be coming to us!!!

Last year there were 8 club entries and we placed 7th.  This year, with 3 radios, a beam antenna, and a fresh group we should be able to do a lot better.
