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 2014 brings good band openings when you  need them 
and provides lots of contesting fun.

BCQP 2014 is just around  the corner!

Key Details

Date/Time: 1600z Feb 1 to 0400z Feb  2.

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  2014

The plaque program has been expanded!! There are now seven  sponsored 
categories:

Top Score BC, Top Score Canada outside BC, Top YL  Score, Top Score USA, 
Most Federal Electoral Districts Worked, Top Rookie  (new) and Top DX (new).

As always, we have lovely photo-based  certificates for top scores by 
stations in BC and outside BC in all  categories.

Rules and tools, including multiplier list and an  at-a-glance summary of 
same-day events and their respective exchanges, and  examples of the lovely 
photo-based certificates and plaques are available for  viewing from links on 
the BCQP page of the Orca DXCC website. Go to  
http://www.orcadxcc.org/bcqp.html

There's lots of activity the Feb 1-2  weekend, which means plenty of Q 
potential on phone, CW 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. If one of  the other QSO parties is your focus and 
you are in the host state, BC stations  will be able to trade a Q with you. 
Participants in the 10-10 contest or even  XE RTTY can also benefit from a 
trade. It?s a win-win situation for all events  on the air.

I?ll be running the sponsor call VA7ODX on SSB. Hope to  hear you.

73,?

Rebecca VA7BEC

Hi All,

Just getting my old computer back up  and running after a major crash.  One 
of the things I lost was a good  little UTC clock.  (I also lost all my 
emails, so I can't go back and  search for it!)  I heard about this one a 
little over a year ago here  on this list.  But I can't remember the name 
of 
it!

What I can  tell to help identify what I'm looking for is this..... you can 
drag it  around the screen to place it wherever you like it and you can 
also 
drag  it to make it the size you want.  It gets the local time from the  
Windows clock and displays the UTC time.

Does anyone have an idea  of what I'm looking for?

Thanks,

Back in my Hole,

I use one called AClock  but  I can't seem to find the url for it.

Just pops the time on the screen  in a small window and can be moved with 
the
mouse.  I normally place  it in the corner of the entry window.

Sittin' in El Paso on a Saturday night,  with no place to QRV NAQP SSB.*  A
qstion arises on the NAQP  Rules.

"9. Station: All radio transmitters, .... Use of multiple  stations during
the contest, whether directly or remotely operated, is  prohibited."

What does that mean or include/exclude?  Does it ban  only using multiple
stations under a single call sign?

Does it ban  the K8MR-SS-style Single-Op Multi-Station with different  call
signs?

Does it ban something I am not devious enough to have  thought of?

PLEASE -- Cite your authority when you reply.  I'd  like to distinguish
between the real skinny and the opinions of the  barracks lawyers.

*Friday  afternoon in a nearby shopping center I saw a car with N5RK tags.
>From  on-line call sign lookup, he is only abt a mile from my son, and
seems to  be interested in HF.  I reached him by telephone just before going
QRT  Friday and boldly asked if I could use his station to make a couple of
QSOs  in NAQP Saturday night.  Alas, his antennas are  down.

If you are submitting a score I think  it means, pick a station and stick 
with it.  Ie no call sign changes  or station changes.  If you are just 
handing out contacts do what you  wish.
