This activity is supposed to mesh well with Parks On The Air (POTA) and Summits On The Air (SOTA) activations. Participation is available on 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meters, using CW, SSB, AM, and FM. [Digital modes are not permitted in the Colorado QSO Party.] I will try to remember to make copies of the handout and distribute them at our breakfast meeting this coming Saturday morning 8/22/2026. Look for a reminder for this meeting. 73. = Steve K?CI From shakeastick at gmail.com Thu Aug 20 17:29:34 2026 From: shakeastick at gmail.com (Steve Schaarschmidt) Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 15:29:34 -0600 Subject: [v7arcssbnet] Colorado QSO Party on Saturday 9/12/2026 - with link embedded Message-ID: Let's see if this gets through,...
