[CQ-Contest] Ohio QSO Party - Saturday

[Jimk8mr@aol.com]

This Saturday, August 27, is the Ohio QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River  
Radio Club.  It runs from 1600z to 0400z August 28.
 
Full contest info is available at       _www.oqp.us_ (http://www.oqp.us) 
 
In a nutshell, exchange QSO number and QTH.  Multipliers are by mode,  so it 
will take 176 for a double clean sweep of Ohio counties!  
 
We will have a great complement at least a dozen mobile or rover  stations, 
covering all 88 of Ohio's counties, as well as lots of fixed station  activity.
 
With any state QSO party, a county map is a great operating aid.   A great 
source of such maps, for all 50 states, is available at
 
        _http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/stco_02.htm_

I hope to see lots of you on Saturday, and good luck filling up your  Ohio 
county map!
