Hello Contestors everywhere.

This year marks the 11th year of the contest and runs this year on :

The third full weekend of April
1800Z April 19 to 0500Z April 20,
and 1200Z to 1800Z April 20

A rule change this year will allow any station outside of Ontario that works 
100 or more Ontario
stations recieve a certificate for their effort. And any station inside 
Ontario that works 100 or more stations outside of Ontario will also recieve 
a certificate for their effort. Its a WIN - WIN situation!

To plan your operating schedule you can check the "who's going to be on"

stations announce their operating plans and will be updated right up to the
day of the contest.

If your looking to set a new State or DX record [ or break on old one ]
check the current records page at  http://cco.ve3xd.com/oqp/records.pdf

For FREE  eay-to-use logging software designed SPECIFICALLY for the Ontario 
QSO Party go to  http://www.ve3syb.ca/software/oqp/   This program will show 
you your running score during the contest  with no guessing needed so you 
can see where you currently are or need to be to beat a record or place 
first in your State, Province, County or Country!

So set your clock , feed the dog, put out the cat and call in sick next 
Friday to tweak your antennas [ no I can't write you a note ].

Good luck to everyone and I hope to work you in the contest in 7 days!!
