2011 NY QSO Party ? Saturday, October 15
by Rick Mintz W1TY/W2RTY
The Rochester DX Association is again sponsoring the NY QSO Party this year.
This is the third year of the NYQP after a 25+ year hiatus.
The 2011 NYQP kicks off on October 15 at 10:00 AM local time for twelve
hours.
Here is your chance to be the "chased" in a contest.
Whether you are a serious or casual contester, or looking towards adding
to your County Awards total, the NYQP has something for you.
All modes including SSB, CW and RTTY/Digital will be activated.
There are certificates and over 30 plaques sponsored for participants.
Last year we experimented with a ?Rookie Operator Award? which was very
popular. For the 2011 NYQP, those licensed from January 2008 are
eligible. This gives newer operators a chance to compete against those
that don't have years of experience, antenna farms and high power.
We are always looking for mobile stations to travel through counties.
Each county change gives you the opportunity to work that station again
as a new multiplier and on up to three modes. Mobiles can post their
travels beforehand on the NYQP web site so others will know where to
look for them. Mobiles are the backbone of any QSO Party and really will
add to your county totals.
A list of the rarest NY counties to help plan your route is also on the
NYQP web site (see below). Take a friend and make a day of it! Being a
stateside contest, signals should be strong. Last year all 62 NY
counties were active.
No matter what mode(s) you choose and from kilowatts to milliwatts, the
NYQP is designed for fun. Contest logging software is online along with
a tutorial for N1MM Logger.
Full information on Rules, County Maps, Logging Software, much more is
available at: www.NYQP.org.
Be sure to check out the "Frequently Asked Questions" section.
See you the third Saturday in October. CQ NYQP!!!
