[CQ-Contest] Announcing second annual Mid-Atlantic QSO Party

[Walter O'Brien]

SECOND ANNUAL
MID ATLANTIC QSO PARTY

The  (MAQP) is an old-fashioned QSO Party focusing on Delaware, 
Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia 
and DC. It runs from Saturday May 14th 2004 at 1600 UTC until 2400 UTC 
Sunday May 15th 2004 with a break from 0400 – 1100 UTC Sunday. Activity 
will be on all HF bands from 160 to 10 meters (except WARC bands) and 
50, 144, 222, and 440 MHz.

The MAQP seeks to provide a competitive challenge with a low-pressure 
atmosphere. In short, the purpose is to have fun, enjoy the event, and 
find your own desired level of participation.

The committee will offer certificates and/or plaques, including 
categories such as Top Scorer in each Mid-Atlantic state, the entire 
Mid-Atlantic region, each DX country, state, or VE province from which 
an entry is received, and more. All stations are welcome - fixed, 
mobile, rover, single or multi-operator, clubs, QRP or standard power.

Popular contest logging software modules for the MAQP are already 
available, and more are coming. Information will be published on our 
website as available.

Please visit the MAQP website at http://www.qsl.net/maqso for full 
details, rules, maps, and all forms, available for downloading.

If you or your group or company would like to sponsor a plaque, please 
contact us as soon as possible while there are still some opportunities 
left!
