NAQP is a "friendly" contest, with an exchange of Name and State(Province/Country).
Maximum power is 100 watts. Five bands 10m to 80m, and QSOs and Multipliers count 
again on each band. Single operators can operate up to 10 hours of the 12 hour

Also, we'll have an "On-The-Air" Practice Session for NAQP-RTTY the previous 
evening: 0200 - 0230 UTC July 21st. 
New York-time: Friday July 20th 10:00PM to 10:30PM EDST
California-time: Friday July 20th 7:00PM to 7:30PM PDST.
Test your setup and messages, check propagation, have fun.
Usual NAQP exchange, bands and rules - but no logs or reporting.

A fun part of NAQP-RTTY is to form a "Team". Anyone can recruit a Team 
of 2 to 5 single operators who will have their scores combined for a Team score.
Both individual and Team scores will be published in the National Contest Journal 
magazine. Teams must be registered before the start of the contest at the
Team Registration link on

See you on RTTY, Saturday July 21, 2012.
