[CQ-Contest] NY QSO Party - This Saturday - All Counties and Several Mobiles

[dfaklis at frontiernet.net]

CQ NYQP!  Saturday 18 OCT, 1400 UTC for 12 straight hours.

AK2X/M (with AK2D), K8MR/M, N2CU/M, N2ZN/M (with NW2K), NT2A/M, W2M/M (W3NO, AD8J), WJ2O/M, and possibly NJ1F/M, fun to chase all over the state, from East, West, North and South.

We're still working to get all 62 counties on the air (so far, missing a couple of counties in the North Country).  All contest bands (160m-2m and higher) and all modes (CW, SSB, Digital) will be represented.  Lots of confirmed interest from DX.

The event is well funded with many categories and there is plenty of opportunity to win a plaque both within NY and outside of the state.  The plaques are really beautiful.

Here is a link to the 2014 rules:  (Exchange:  RST and County, in NY; RST and S/P/*DX*, outside NY)
