The fun and friendly North American QSO Party on RTTY will be on 
Saturday February 27.  Our friendly exchange is a Name and State (or 
Province or Country). Five bands, 10m to 80m, RTTY,  Maximum of 
100 watts to reduce the loud Alligators and give everyone a chance for 
a little space to run. QSOs and Multipliers count again each band!

TIME: Party-time is Saturday 1800 UTC to Sunday 0600 UTC. 
Eastern-time that's Saturday afternoon 1PM to Sunday 1AM. 
Pacific-time that's Saturday morning 10AM to 10PM. 
Single-ops only operate 10 of the 12 hours, so you'll have time for a 
meal or other Saturday chores, and still have Sunday free for your 
weekend activities. Multi-ops can operate all 12 hours.

TEAMS: Any group of friends can form a NAQP Team of two to five 
single-operators. Register your Team before the contest at the 
"Team Registration" link:  <http://ncjweb.com/rttynaqpteamreg/>
