Note that the "bonus stations" mentioned in the announcement may only be
worked by Hawaiian stations.
To Hawai`i Amateur Radio Clubs, their members and selected stations that
operated HQP in 2012.
Hi all,
Just a short note about the 2013 Hawaii QSO Party beginning Friday,
August 23rd at 18:00 Hawaii time for 48 hours. For details see the rules at,
www.HawaiiQSOParty.org <http://www.HawaiiQSOParty.org>
There will be four non-Hawaii bonus stations this year. Look for W7DRA,
NN2DX, W7/NN2DX and IT9/NN2DX for contacts that count as 20x QSOs.
Hawaii clubs have an incentive to get members to operate. For every
operator that logs at least five contacts the club earns an extra 25 QSO
points!
This year high scoring stations in geographic regions are eligible for
plaques, in addition to certificates, for their accomplishments. See
the AWARDS tab on the contest site for details.
Based on reports, the KH6LC Super Station, the Battleship Missouri
KH6BB, and a group from the KARC club will be operating from Kalawao
County (pass the word to the County Hunters).
Why not join in even if for just a few hours to help put Hawaii on the
Amateur Radio map.
Aloha es 73,
Joe/AH0A
BTW, please pass the word along about HQP on the repeaters, HF nets, and
Hawaii Amateur Radio reflectors.
