[k0il at qsl.net]

                    Announcing 
 
            The Nebraska QSO Party 1998 
 
      Sponsored by the Nebraska QSO Party Group. 
 
Join in on a fun QSO Party!  This is our 3rd year after reviving this party, 
and we've doubled participation each year!  Nebraskans are not typically 
contester types so don't be surprised by an occasional rag-chew during the 
contest.  After all it is a "QSO" Party, right?  We've got some nice 
certificates and very nice plaques for your shack wall.  This year we've added 
bonus points for Nebraska stations who go mobile or portable to entice 
activity from "rare" Nebraska counties.  We are yet to have entries from all 
50 states so just send in your log and win your state.  It's that easy! 
 
From:    1700Z  25-April-1998   
Until:   1700Z  26-April-1998 
Entry classes: Single op, Multi-single, Mobile, and Novice/Tech. 
Exchange: RS(T) and state, province, or DX Country.  
          Nebraska stations send RS(T) & your county. 
Scoring: Stations may be worked once on CW & once on Phone per band. 
         Each non-duplicate Phone QSO is one point. 
         Each non-duplicate CW/digital QSO is two points. 
         Final score calculated by multiplying QSO pts by multipliers. 
         NE mobiles add 50 QSO pts for each county operated from. 
         NE portables add 100 QSO pts for operating from other than your 
resident county. 
         NE mobiles may be worked again when they change counties for new 
points/mults. 
         NE mobiles operating on county lines may be counted as only one QSO. 
         All contact must be simplex. 
         All CW contacts must be in CW sub-band (except 160mtrs).  No MCW. 
Multipliers: For non-Nebraska stns use number of counties worked (93 max)
