Clubs – Please share with your membership.
The HamCation QSO Party has been organized to create a fun way for
amateurs to celebrate the Orlando HamCation experience over the air.
The QSO party will replicate the camaraderie and social experience of
attending HamCation and provide a way to have fun on the radio since
HamCation 2021 will not be held due to Covid-19.
The HamCation QSO Party will be a 12-hour QSO Party on the HamCation
weekend of February 13, 2021 from 10:00 am EST Saturday to 10:00 pm EST
Saturday. It will be a CW and SSB on-the-air operating event on 80, 40,
20, 15, and 10 Meters, during which anyone can work anyone!
Categories will be High Power (more than 100W output), Low Power (100W
output or less) and QRP (5W output or less). All participants will be
single operators, as there is no multi-operator category.
Information exchanged during a QSO will be NAME, STATE/PROVINCE or
COUNTRY and the outside temperature at your QTH. We are including
temperature at your QTH as a way of highlighting Orlando’s mild February
weather.
There will be special event stations to heighten the fun and challenge
of participating in the QSO party. Nine Special Event 1x1 stations will
be active that will spell out “HAMCATION”, such as K4*H*, W4*A*, K4*M*, etc.
Scoring and Reporting:
* Each QSO will count as 1 point. Stations may be worked once on each
band and mode.
* All entrants will report their scores on www.3830Scores.com
