Hello WWYCers
Chris, KL9A here.
Sorry for the confusion on the email address/name... it'll be fixed soon. :)
I received this in my email, and figured I should pass it on.

California QSO Party (CQP) 2002
1600Z October 5, 2002 until 2200Z October 6, 2002
Start your contest season with a bang and compete for our new club award!
I'd like to personally invite you and your club (World Wide Young
Contesters)
to participate in the California QSO Party (CQP).
This year we have a new plaque for the highest scoring entry in "Top Club,
non-California".
Obviously we would appreciate it if you would advertise the CQP in your club
newsletter and your club email reflector
(even if you decide to not enter the CQP contest as a club).
All California QSO Party rules, results, county abbreviations, and free
logging software are available at:
* http://www.cqp.org/
Read all about the 2001 CQP contest results (only six non-CA clubs entered
the
2001 CQP):

State-by-state records (who will set their new state record in 2002?):
* http://www.cqp.org/results/Records/rec_nca.htm
Don't forget about all the awards available in CQP (see
http://www.cqp.org/Awards.html):
* 34 Plaques (wood and metal, not mere wallpaper!)
* 40 Bottles of special vintage California wine (with commemorative CQP
labels)
* Certificates to the top S/O in each and every state, province, country,
and CA county
* Certificates to each and every ham who makes at least 100 QSOs in CQP
We even have CQP T-shirts available for purchase if you make at least 100
QSOs
in the contest.
This year's California QSO Party promises to be a lot of fun!
