Hi,

This is a reminder that the ninth annual "Ontario QSO Party" takes place 
this weekend Saturday, April 16th, 2005 at 18:00 UTC to Sunday, April 
17th, 2005 at 18:00 UTC.

Contest takes place on all HF Bands (160-10m except WARC) both SSB & CW 
and on the VHF/UHF bands, FM Simplex, SSB & CW.

Stations can be worked twice (once on SSB and once on CW) on the HF 
bands and once only on the VHF/UHF bands regardless of mode.

Mobile & Rover stations can be worked again when they change 
county/district/regional municipality

Points:  1 point SSB, 2 points CW, 5 points contacts on VHF/UHF bands, 
10 points for contacts with VA3RAC and VE3ODX.

Multipliers: Are claimed on each band.

Outside Ontario stations claim the 48 Ontario 
counties/districts/regional municipalities.

Inside Ontario stations claim the Ontario multipliers, plus Canadian 
province/territories, USA states, DXCC countries.

This contest generates some good activity with lots of "multi-county" 
mobiles and rovers planning to "hit the road".
