[SECC] New Contest Announcement: TX State Parks Contest

[John Laney]

For any of you who may think there aren't enough contests, here is a new 
contest announcment.  This will be similar to what Ohio parks contest 
has been doing for several years.  Or is this possibly an April fool 
joke?  73, John, K4BAI.


Contest Announcement

>From the folks who bring you the Texas QSO Party, the Northwest Amateur
radio Society of Houston, comes a new

contest - the Texas State Parks On The Air (TSPOTA) contest the first full
weekend in April, 2013.

  

TSPOTA gives Texas Hams an opportunity to get ready for the ARRL Field Day
exercise, get outdoors after a long winter,

and have some radio fun while enjoying the beauty of the Texas State Parks.
Texas Hams operating from one of

the 99 Texas State Parks on the approved parks list will give the 4 letter
designator and RST. Texas Hams not

operating from a State park will give RST and TX as the designator. All
other Hams will give RST and their

State/Province or DX as their designator. Full rules and a list of parks as
well as list of operations that

plan to be active can be found at the official website,http://tspota.com  .
