Greetings Warriors,

The NAQP CW contest will be held exactly one week from today on August 1.
The contest runs from 1800Z Saturday through 0600Z Sunday (2 PM  to
2 AM EDST).  This is a fun, high rate event where you work everyone on each
band and mults (50 states, 13 Canadian provinces/territories and NA
countries) count again on each band. The exchange is name and state so CW
speeds tend to be pretty high, especially later in the day when your logging
program spits out the exchange info after you enter the call.  
Participants are limited to operating 10 of the 12 hours, so you can have a
nice dinner with the family or mow the lawn.

For the last couple of years, NCC and MRRC have put together teams to
compete in the team competition.  Teams consist of five members and there
are usually around 70 or 80 teams competing.  In the August 2013 event, two
of our five teams made it into the top ten (fifth and tenth).  We also
fielded five teams in 2014 but our two best teams came in 12th and 13th due
to the fact that some ops could not put in full efforts.  Still a solid
performance.  As you know, the NAQPs are held twice a year, in January and
August.  West Coast and Texas stations generally have the advantage in both
events, but in our part of the country we are less disadvantaged in the
summer.

I'll be putting teams together again so please let me know of your interest
and whether you will be full-time or part-time.  I will register the teams
at noon, Saturday August 1.

Let's see how well we can do!

73, Hal W1NN
NAQP CW Whip
