[CQ-Contest] Fw: Remember the Wisconsin QSO Party This Weekend

[Dan Reese, N9XX]

Take it from one who also hands out that WAU multiplier: some
WIQP counties have similar names, and the abbreviations, when
used, can cause some confusion on CW.  Please take a look at the
Multiplier List at http://www.warac.org/wqp/counties.htm.
Examples:

GRE = Green
GRL = Green Lake

MAR = Marathon
MRN = Marinette
MRQ = Marquette

WSB = Washburn
WAS = Washington

WAU = Waukesha
WAP = Waupaca
WSR = Waushara

Keep in mind too that the exchange sent by a Wisconsin station is
simply the county name or abbreviation: for example, N9XX sends
"WAU".  Non-Wisconsin stations send state or province or country.
Signal reports are not required, but they are often exchanged
nonetheless.

For WIQP software, visit www.n3fjp.com  I use Scott's software
for all
contests.  It is pretty good stuff.

If you need the ever elusive Waukesha county, look for me in the
WIQP...
