[SESprint] North American QSO Parties - RTTY, CW, SSB - Team Members Needed

[Michael Zolno]

Hi John,

Hopefully I am not the only guy?! I am interested in the CW portion of NAQP as well. 

Oh, I had a question. When I upload to 3830 and put SECC as club, does the entry get forwarded to SECC or must I send text copy and paste as we do on Yahoo group for CWops CWT? I only ask as I haven't sent anything to SECC lately and if this was disclosed somewhere I was most likely not paying attention. Last entry submitted to 3830 was IARU. Haven't played in CWT for weeks as I have been struggling the last few weeks with pain as my spinal implant battery died 1st week of June, so seeing neurosurgeon to get permanent battery (transmitter) replaced as well as mom had heart attack and has been hospitalized. She is doing better and has been moved to a rehabilitation center now. I'm going to do my best to play in 1900z.

These contests run for ten hours on Saturday afternoons and evening into Sunday mornings early.  The exchange is just Name + State (or Province or NA Country or "DX").  Power is limited to 100 watts.  Multipliers (States, provinces, and NA countries) count PER band.  You may work every station on any or all of the six contest bands (except for RTTY, when 160M is not included). Single ops may operate up to 10 hours.  There is also a M/2 category where the stations may be operated for 8 hours, but they cannot be on a team.  Only single ops are eligible for teams.

Please e-mail me right away if you can be on a team and I will register the team(s) late Friday or Saturday and send out an announcement to that effect.  You do not need to show your team name in the Cabrillo header of your log, as teams are taken from the pre-registrations.

Registering teams encourages more activity, which is beneficial to everyone in the contest. The final results published in NCJ will show the team results as well as individual station results.

If you don't get on a team for your local club, you are invited to participate on a SECC team, whether or not you are a SECC member and whether or not you live in the south east area.  I will also register these teams before those contests start.  I realize that Aug 20 is a conflict with the Huntsville hamfest, but some who attend part of the hamfest will still be able to operate during the NAQP.
