NAQP is one of my favorites:
1. 10 hours in the chair is long enough to feel like you have accomplished
something, but short enough to be able to stand up when its over.
2. I can make a decent score with my little pistol antennas.
3. Its mostly good ops. The NAQPs have gained a lot of following over the
past few years - the big boys will be playing, but with less intensity than
the sprints.
4. This is a great contest to practice up on whatever: SO2R skills, band
hopping, etc.
I hope to see lots of SECCers in the log.

I haven't operated a NAQP but it looks like a lot of band changing is a key
to doing well.

KU8E is taking names for the SECC teams. You don't have to be in the contest
to give us a call.. actually, you don't have to be in the club circle to
participate in a team for the SECC. Dump in your callsign, name and state
you plan to operate from and Jeff will confirm.
Next we can start talking about operating strategy for the NAQP.
