This Saturday, August 27, is the Ohio QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River
Radio Club. It runs from 1600z to 0400z August 28.
Full contest info is available at _www.oqp.us_ (http://www.oqp.us)
In a nutshell, exchange QSO number and QTH. Multipliers are by mode, so it
will take 176 for a double clean sweep of Ohio counties!
We will have a great complement at least a dozen mobile or rover stations,
covering all 88 of Ohio's counties, as well as lots of fixed station activity.
With any state QSO party, a county map is a great operating aid. A great
source of such maps, for all 50 states, is available at
_http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/stco_02.htm_

I hope to see lots of you on Saturday, and good luck filling up your Ohio
county map!
