Hi -
Hope you'll spend some time operating in the New England QSO Party this next
weekend - May 2nd and 3rd!
If you are one of the many people at home these last few weeks, this is a
chance do to something different.
Get on the air and meet a lot of other hams! You'll have a lot of fun.
We're trying to make sure that all counties in New England are active. So far
we know of 100 people in 50 of the 67 counties who plan to be active. A list
of planned county activity is here and is updated daily:
