California QSO Party: CQP Chairman Dean Wood N6DE
YouTube interview at this link: https://youtu.be/QTeYLbD5G1g
California QSO Party chairman Dean Wood N6DE is passionate about his state’s
QSO party for good reason. With over 1200 submitted logs, the CQP easily tops
the list of state QSO parties for participation. What’s their secret? Start
with the fact that the CQP is sponsored by contesters - the Northern California
Contest Club - making this one of the few QP’s run by a contest club. Their
other unique characteristic is an Expedition class of operator (think “POTA
meets Contester”) who fan out across California to activate even the hardest to
get to counties. Non-California contesters have plenty of stations to log and
many will work for a clean sweep of the 58 counties. Participants are split
nearly equally between CW, Phone and Mixed Mode but, with no awards for single
modes, those playing to win will operate mixed mode. Watch this interview with
Dean N6DE to learn more about the upcoming October 7-8 2023 CQP and to see
Dean's photo highlights from 2022.
