Just a reminder, the 2011 U.S. Counties Qso Party, sponsored by MARAC has 
undergone a rules overhaul and change, as well as a date change. It has been 
held the first weekend of May for the past few years, with the CW and SSB 
contests being seperate. The date is now changed to the last weekend in July 
<In concurrence with the IOTA contest>, the CW and SSB contests have been 
combined, with new categories to match.  Also for the mobile contest ops 
reading this, there is a unique category in the U.S. Counties Qso Party, the 
Mixed category. While you may immediately think the mixed category is for 
operation of both CW and SSB modes, it is actually designed for those who wish 
to operate from both their home QTH, as well as from a mobile setup. The same 
callsign must be used, and you cannot count a mobile operation from your fixed 
location county towards the mobile requirements. As in all other categories, 
there is a CW, SSB, and mixed mode class within this category. More information 
can be found at www.marac.org/contests.htm . 



I am still looking for an author from Writelog, and any other software authors, 
 to work to change the module for this contest. I have sent a few emails to the 
address listed on writelogs website,  and have not yet received any response. 
K3CT is currently working on the module for N1MM. I am happy to answer any 
questions you may have concerning this contest, please do not hesitate to 
contact me.  thank you and best 73--Scott, KA3QLF, MARAC contest coordinator
