Whichever way to you choose to participate, there will be plenty of 
stations on the air looking for YOU!

Club Competition:
No residency requirement for club participation. No requirement for 
entrants within a club to live in (or operate from) any particular 
geographic radius. A club need not have any formal structure. Entrants 
wishing their scores to count towards club competition must ensure the 
name of their club appears on their entry. (Most contest software will 
take care of this automatically).
Clubs whose members are all inside Tennessee will participate in one 
competition; those whose members are all outside the state will compete 
with other outside-Tennessee clubs. If a club submits entries from both 
inside and outside Tennessee, they will be treated as two separate clubs.
The Tennessee Contest Group is not eligible for club competition.
Scoring:
3 points per QSO, regardless of mode.
Multipliers:
 95 TN counties
 49 states (except TN)
 13 provinces/territories
 DXCC entities
Please submit a log, even if you are not competing! It helps us gauge 
participation and fine tune rules. Check the TNQP web site for 
submission options:
If you answered YES to ANY of these, then the
Tennessee QSO Party
is the place to be!
