Looks like a great weekend for the New England QSO Party.    Thanks to a lot of YCCCers and others we will have all 67 New England counties active.

Please get on for an hour or two - or the whole contest.   Many contesters start out in QSO Parties, it's a great introduction to contesting!

The good news from the sun is that there shouldn't be any storms but there are a bunch of sunspots.  Nice to work some JA's tonight on 15m from my car.

For complete details go to www.neqp.org and check out the contest rules and other good stuff.

Or, just get on the air!


Contest Period: 2000Z Saturday until 0500Z Sunday (4pm EDT Saturday until 1am EDT Sunday) and 1300Z Sunday until 2400Z Sunday (9am EDT Sunday until 8pm EDT Sunday). 

Contest Exchange: Send signal report and state/province (DX stations send signal report and "DX"). New England stations send signal report, county and state.
