[SECC] Announcement: IN QSO Party This Weekend

[John Laney]

Hope you will be able to participate in our annual Indiana QSO Party on 
May 5 and 6.  All information can be found on the HDXCC Home Page 
http://www.hdxcc.org/inqp   It runs 10 hours on Sat (1600Z to 0400Z 
Sunday) CW and SSB.



Just added: N9FN is sponsoring a plaque for the top score in Indiana QSO 
party from a Black Hole station outside Indiana



The INQP is a great time to work on your Worked All Indiana Award. 
http://www.hdxcc.org/wai/index.html    It only takes 60 confirmed 
counties to earn the initial certificate. Your INQP QSOs count as 
confirmed QSOs toward your WAI. Just indicate the INQP QSOs on your GCR, 
and we'll use your submitted log to confirm the QSOs.

CW: 1.805 MHz and 30 kHz up from the band edge on 80-10 meters. A window 
for only mobiles to call CQ should be observed from 35 to 40 KHz up.

"SSB: 1.845, 3.820, 7.190, 14.250, 21.300 and 28.400 MHz. PLEASE LISTEN 
FOR INDIANA MOBILES"

Try 160 meters at 0200 UTC.

Band conditions have been pretty good recently, including 20M often 
being open at night and 15 and 10 providing a lot of QSOs during the 
daylight hours.



Please join in the fun for as much time and you can and send in your log.



Awards are available for high power, low power, and QRP entries from the 
various states, provinces, countries and IN counties.





Thanks for your support and for passing this information on to others 
who might be interested.





73, Mike, W9RE
