[CQ-Contest] New England QSO Party this weekend

[Tom Frenaye]

Planning for the New England QSO Party is almost complete.  We have at least ten and maybe more than a dozen mobiles planning to scatter out across the six states - plus a large number of home stations.

Please join us for the 7th NEQP this weekend.  Certificates for entries with 25 or more QSOs.  More than 30 plaques available.  Special awards for top scorers - lobster, ice cream and maple syrup...

As K4XU noted for the 7QP, there are other "contests this weekend and we make it EASY - send us your complete log, no need to sort your non-counting contacts, in ANY clear text electronic format, and we will score it for you."  [Of course, Cabrillo format is preferred]

For past results, records, county lists and maps, and other information, check out the NEQP web site at http://www.neqp.org/

Did some say it was a Win-Win-Win event?  Windham County CT, Windham County NH, Windham County VT...
