Contest Announcement

>From the folks who bring you the Texas QSO Party, the Northwest Amateur
radio Society of Houston, comes a new

contest - the Texas State Parks On The Air (TSPOTA) contest the first full
weekend in April, 2013.

 

TSPOTA gives Texas Hams an opportunity to get ready for the ARRL Field Day
exercise, get outdoors after a long winter, 

and have some radio fun while enjoying the beauty of the Texas State Parks.
Texas Hams operating from one of 

the 99 Texas State Parks on the approved parks list will give the 4 letter
designator and RST. Texas Hams not 

operating from a State park will give RST and TX as the designator. All
other Hams will give RST and their 

State/Province or DX as their designator. Full rules and a list of parks as
well as list of operations that 

plan to be active can be found at the official website, http://tspota.com .
