So what's the secret to making time go backwards? Without that many of us
will find it impossible to participate from 1600 to 0600 on Oct 14.

Ha ha Bill ;) :)
No time travel required. Just a typo and corrected information is below. However, if you have such a machine, let's talk....

Only those stations utilizing a Mr. Fusion coupled to a flux capacitor will be able to participate. You must also be able to rotate your antenna at 88
MPH.

All are encouraged to participate, Vince. If your antenna is rotating at 88mph, I suggest a Mobile entry! :)

We have prepared a real time score page on the Contest Online Score web

Thank you Victor! That will certainly help with this year's contest. As with 3830, these can be considered "preliminary" results but entries with proper vetting are still required.

whats this all about? who picked the contest times and could they have made it more awkward? i will be on the air from PMA county if i can figure out what times i should be active.

Hi Larry! The Arizona QSO Party is a minor contest, promoting Arizona operations and providing opportunities for new operators to whet their appetite for contesting, and providing all operators a chance to refine their skills and try new operating configurations and protocols. The contest times, as denoted below, have been in place with little change since the AZQP inception in 2009. May I add your proposed operation to the Planned Operations page on the AZQP website? Please see below for the web address.
