[RTTY] North American QSO Party on RTTY will be Saturday July 16, 2016

[K6UFO Mark Aaker]

Please join us in this friendly contest, with exchange of a Name and 
State (or Province or Country). 12 Hrs of fun on 5 bands, and easy to join. 
Five bands, 10m to 80m. QSOs and Multipliers count again on each band! 

Party-time is Saturday July 16 1800 UTC to Sunday July 17 0600 UTC. 
California-time that's Saturday July 16 from 11AM to 11PM PDT. 

Rules, records, and past results at the National Contest Journal:

The NAQP contests are designed for participants to be either: 
1. Single-op, Non-Assisted, and Low power; or 
2. Multi-Operator Two-Transmitter, Assisted, and Low power. 
The Low power limit (100w) helps everyone "feel loud" and compete. 

In July, the DMC RTTY Contest will also be on the air, and the 
mostly European participants will be looking for a Signal Report and 
Serial Number (Ex: 599 001). Contacts with them will count for NAQP 
RTTY so long as you get their NAME for your NAQP log. Win-Win!
