The 2008 Ohio QSO Party is today, August 23, 1600z to 0400z Sunday. We've going to have a lot of activity - ten mobile/rover stations with posted plans, several county expeditions, and lots of fixed
With many people across Ohio (and elsewhere) losing power for days as a result of the storms of last Sunday, we are extending the log deadline for the Ohio QSO Party to October 10. If you were affect
And from the rare Ohio section, I again plan to operate in the self proclaimed category of "Single Operator - Multi Station". That is, about six hours each from N8TR, AC8E, K8AZ, and my own station.

The one point that I have not seen proffered is, if the logs have been adjudicated by the contest committee, why would you want/need to see them. In other words, what's in it for you to see my logs?
