Hello everyone,
Rebecca VA7BEC here, contest coordinator for the British Columbia QSO Party.
First, let me wish you all a very happy new year -- a little late, but it’s
still January. :) Hope 2013 brings good band openings when you need them and
provides lots of contesting fun.
BCQP 2013 is just around the corner!
Key Details
Date/Time: 1600z Feb 2 to 0400z Feb 3.
Objective: BC stations can contact anyone anywhere. Stations outside BC must
catch the attention of BC stations.
Exchange: Stations outside BC give RS(T) + state/province. BC stations will
give RS(T) + three-letter code representing the federal electoral district in
BC.
New in 2013
We still have photo-based certificates -- different design every year -- and
nice Orca-related trinkets for top scores for BC and outside BC in each entry
class. In addition, this year we have implemented a plaque program, and five
categories have sponsors: Top Score BC, Top Score Canada outside BC, Top YL
Score, Top Score US, and Most Federal Electoral Districts Worked.
Other information, including rules and multipliers, can be accessed from the
BCQP homepage on the Orca DXCC website at http://orcadxcc.org/bcqp.html
There's lots of activity the Feb 2-3 weekend, which means plenty of Q potential
on phone, code and digital. From a British Columbia perspective, participation
from everyone everywhere is absolutely welcome. Even if the BCQP is not your
target contest of the weekend, if you hear a BC station calling CQ BCQP, please
drop by. Depending on your location and your primarily contest, we may be able
to trade Qs. Win-win situation.
I’ll be running the sponsor call VA7ODX on phone. Hope to hear you.
73,
Rebecca VA7BEC
Orca DXCC, Contest Coordinator, BCQP
