After the Florida QSO party, remember that there are four QSO parties on
the following weekend – 7QP, New England, Indiana and Delaware.
No matter where you live, you can participate in all four at once using
N1MM+ Logger. It is the only weekend where this happens. N1MM lets you
enter all the exchanges as received without switching logs. For anyone
outside of these four areas, it has a special QSO party called IN7QPNE.
This does the same for them. Enter all exchanges as received. Anyone can
participate in all four QSO parties at once. We truly appreciate the
support of the N1MM+ crew, especially K3CT, to make this happen.
When the party is over, simply generate a Cabrillo log and send it to
all four of the contest sponsors. There is no need to weed out
non-counting contacts, they do it all. This has improved the
participation in all four contests. As a result, the four parties
together now make up the largest QSO party weekend of the year.
As always, be sure you have the latest version of N1MM as it has recent
significant improvements for all state QSO parties ...And N1MM is free!
If you use N3FJP for logging and want to play in more than one party,
it's more complicated. If you are working in one party, it is not
possible to work the others for score because the program only accepts
exchanges from your party and just simple state or province
abbreviations from the others. i.e. if you are in Indiana and a station
sends you ORDES, you must enter it as OR. If you want to enter all four,
you must purchase all four of those N3FJP contest modules. Then open
each in a separate window and enter your QSO information in the
appropriate window as you work them.
Shameless self-promotion: See you all on May 2nd for the 7QP. I'll be
N7XU, a solo CW mobile. A route and county schedule is on the N7XU page
at QRZ.com.
Dick, K4XU
7QP manager
