NEQP takes place, in two sessions, from 20:00 UTC Saturday
3rd May to 04:59 Sunday 4th May, and from 13:00 - 23:59 UTC
on the Sunday. There are single-mode (SSB, CW) and mixed-
mode categories, with HP, LP (150w) and QRP (5w) sections,
on the 5 contest bands from 80-10m.
Rules at http://www.neqp.org/rules.html
SD supports SO entries. V14.03 runs on Windows PCs and is
free from www.ei5di.com.
NE entrants: select the "New England QP, NE" template.
All others : select the "New England QP, DX" template.
New England stations work everyone. Others work New England
only - the states are CT, ME, MA, NH, RI & VT. DXCC countries
are multipliers for New England stations, so they'll be glad
to see you!
New England stations send 59(9) + their 5-character county
and state abbreviation. Other North Americans send 59(9)
+ state/province. All others send 59(9) + DX.
New England mobiles and rovers can be worked in different
counties, without being dupes. The simplest option is to
log them as /M or /R - but /NEWRI (for example) works also
(their county and state).
After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo .LOG
file. Email it, as an attached file, to logs at neqp.org
Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.
