Subject: [CTDXCC] The Texas QSO Party 2006 - Miles and Miles of Texas

 Miles and Miles of Texas is the theme of this years Texas QSO Party. Chuck NO5W thanks for reminding us of the brilliance of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, and of more recent times Ray Benson and Asleep at The Wheel for keeping the flame alive musically.

This years event is scheduled for September 23rd and 24th. Please see the September issue of QST, page 95 for details. You can also review all of the details at the Texas QSO Party website: http://www.txqp.org

Plaque sponsorships are also available. Please see
http://www.txqp.org/award.htm and http://www.txqp.org/awdsponsor.htm for details. A number of clubs and individuals have already purchased plaques for 2006. However, there are a number of sponsorships still available.

Next if you plan to operate portable or mobile, please send your routes to: tqproutes at txqp.org Remember our objective is to put as many counties on the air during the event period as well as having more fun than you can imagine.

Bill Buoy N5BIA our Web Master will post your route for others to use in
their route planning.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the 2005
entrants, and the great job they did to keep the Texas QSO Party on the air in light of the two major hurricanes (Katrina and Rita) last year. The total number of entrants was half the number of more recent years, but the spirit was still there!

Finally, thanks in advance to the Texas QSO Party committee: Walter Hock KK5LO -Rules; Joe Sokolowski KD5KR -Finance; Chuck Sanders NO5W -Scoring; Norm Covey K5OS -Publicity, and Bill Buoy N5BIA -WebMaster.

Good luck everyone.
See you on the air!
