[CQ-Contest] New York QSO Party-One Week Away

[Ken Boasi]

We are one week away from the 2022 New York QSO Party!  Plans (and 
propagation) are shaping up for this year's NYQP to be one for the 
record books.  Many stations have already posted their plans on our 
website for their activity next weekend.  We have made some rule changes 
this year which will provide more options for stations looking to get on 
the air, including the new portable class, and allowing operation from 
county lines.  Will 2022 finally be the year that someone achieves the 
elusive sweep of all 62 counties?

Starting at 1400z next Saturday, the next 12 hours will be fast and 
furious.  The last two years have seen a record number of logs 
submitted, and we're hoping to break that record again this year.

The NYQP rules include something for everybody; the new Portable class 
will allow those who operate out in the field to be competitive with 
similar stations.  The Mobile class will again have several mobiles 
traversing the state to activate as many counties as possible.

Logs may be submitted through our new log submission webform (located at 
https://nyqp.contesting.com/nyqpsubmitlog.php).  As of this year, logs 
submission via email shall be discontinued; please be sure to use the 
webform.  Logs are due two weeks after the end of the contest.

Paper logs are not accepted, but paper logs may be typed in and entered 
via the WA7BNM Web-to-Cabrillo log submission form (at 
http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/nyqp_cab.php).

Please check https://nyqp.org/wordpress/nyqp-rules/ for the complete 
rules package. Updated county data, records, activation plans and 
tutorials are also available at NYQP.org.

Join us in one week for one of the top QSO parties in the nation!
